Transportation Department tightens noncitizen truck driver rules after fatal crash in Florida
BY Connect Newsroom, Sep 26, 2025 6:27 PM - REPORT AN ERRORThe Transportation Department will immediately tighten up the requirements for non-citizens to get commercial drivers licenses after three fatal crashes this year in Florida, Texas and Alabama that officials say were caused by immigrant truck drivers who never should have received licenses.
The nationwide audit of these licenses began after a fatal U-turn crash in Florida that killed two people caused by a truck driver who officials said was in the country illegally.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said also threatened to revoke $160 million in federal funding for California
because investigators found that one in four of the 145 commercial drivers licenses for non-citizens issued since June should have never been issued.
