Fed Court Halts New Truck Driver License Rules

Federal court halts new transportation rules on immigrant licenses: A hold has been placed on new restrictions from the Transportation Department, which would have limited immigrants eligibility for commercial drivers licenses. The rules were proposed after a fatal crash involving an unauthorized truck driver in Florida. Secretary Duffy aimed to restrict licenses to three specific visa types and require state verification of immigration status. California has revoked thousands of licenses due to expired work permits. The courts decision comes as Secretary Duffy has revoked funding from California and threatened further withholdings over improperly issued licenses. DNN | The Daily News Now!
