Thousands of immigrant truckers face CDL loss as state responds to federal rule

California plans to revoke 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses after a federal audit found the state had issued CDLs to drivers whose immigration status did not meet new federal requirements. The action has alarmed thousands of immigrant truck drivers, with advocates reporting widespread fear over job loss, truck payments, and family finances. Rajinder Singh, who works with drivers statewide, warns the move could worsen supply chain disruptions if large numbers of drivers are sidelined. The issue has escalated into a political dispute, with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy accusing California of issuing licenses illegally and Governor Newsom’s office calling those claims false. The rule is now on hold after the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay, leaving the future of the CDL revocations uncertain.
