Trump Threatens Funding Over Immigrant Truck Drivers

The Trump administration has threatened to withhold nearly $75 million in funding if Pennsylvania does not immediately revoke what the administration claims are illegally issued commercial driver’s licenses to immigrants. The move on Thursday by U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to target Pennsylvania follows similar action against California. Duffy has made it a priority to scrutinize how the licenses are issued since August, when a tractor-trailer driver not authorized to be in the U.S. made an illegal U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed three people. That incident thrust the issue into the public’s consciousness.
