Gov. Gavin Newsom disputes Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's claims about illegally issued CDLs as California revokes 17,000 commercial driver's licenses.

"After weeks of claiming they did nothing wrong, Gavin Newsom and California have been caught red-handed. Now that we’ve exposed their lies, 17,000 illegally issued trucking licenses are being revoked," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement. "This is just the tip of the iceberg. My team will continue to force California to prove they have removed every illegal immigrant from behind the wheel of semi-trucks and school buses."
The Transportation Department said that those impacted by the decision have been notified that their licenses no longer meet federal requirements and will expire in 60 days. However, California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office said in a post on X that the federal requirements referenced were not in effect when the licenses were issued.
