Duffy Threatens Funds Over Flawed Driver's Licenses

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has threatened to withhold $73 million in highway funds from New York, accusing the state of issuing commercial drivers licenses to immigrants whose legal authorization has expired. Duffy has also raised concerns about similar practices in California, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Texas, and South Dakota. Following a fatal truck crash in Florida, federal audits revealed that nearly half of the licenses reviewed in Texas were flawed, with some states revoking thousands of incorrect licenses. The Transportation Department warns that states must fix their licensing programs or face funding withheld. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
