The U.S. Department of Transportation revealed Wednesday that California has been illegally issuing commercial driver’s licenses to thousands of foreign-born, non-domiciled applicants — putting eighteen-wheelers in the hands of “dangerous foreign drivers,” said Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. The department’s audit found that in California, more than a quarter of the non-domiciled CDLs reviewed were improperly issued. Duffy accused the state of “issuing tens of thousands of these licenses to non-citizens,” calling it a loophole that had grown into a national safety risk. “After weeks of claiming they did nothing wrong, Gavin Newsom and California have been caught red-handed,” Duffy said.
