US transportation secretary says he’ll revoke $160m from California over non-citizen truck licenses
US Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, has threatened to withdraw federal funds from California, accusing the state of illegally issuing commercial driver’s licenses to non-citizens. Duffy stated that California Governor, Gavin Newsom, has refused to adhere to Department of Transportation rules that mandate the halt of such license issuance and a review of already issued ones. However, a spokesperson for the Department of Motor Vehicles insisted that California is in compliance with the law.
