California loses funding over Newsom’s refusal to require English proficiency for truck drivers
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced this week that he’s withholding $40 million in federal funding from California because the state has not complied with his rules requiring truck drivers to be proficient in the English language.
“All the states have complied but one, that would be California. (Governor) Gavin Newsom cares more about migrants than he does about the safety of his citizens or the citizens around the country,” Duffy told Fox News this week.
Duffy announced these new rules amid the Trump administration’s illegal immigration crackdown, but also after a series of recent fatal crashes. Including this summer in Florida, when an illegal migrant truck driver who had a California commercial license killed three people while trying to make a U-turn in a semi-truck.
