President Donald Trump’s administration announced a “historic” crackdown on trucking fraud during a news conference in Detroit on Monday.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the move alongside Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, saying tens of thousands of illegal drivers’ licenses were issued under former President Joe Biden’s administration.
Duffy noted that millions of illegal immigrants were allowed into the country under the previous administration and many were granted commercial drivers’ licenses, with many of them not even able to speak English.
The administration is shutting down 110 driving schools that were the “greatest offenders” in granting drivers’ licenses to illegal immigrants, as well as 160 additional schools that Duffy says lacked proper space for driving tests or had unlicensed instructors.
