CA loses $160M in federal funds for delayed cancellation of 17,000 commercial driver's licenses
"A majority of it would be Sikhs and Hispanics in California,"
"We were told some schools closed down because of it,"
"The process for issuing these licenses is absolutely 100% broken,"
Federal authorities froze $160 million in funding to California over the state's delay in canceling 17,000 commercial driver's licenses held by immigrants after a 2025 audit found issues with valid licenses. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy demanded revocations by a Monday deadline. The California DMV extended the anticipated cancellation date by 60 days, affecting thousands of truck drivers. Many impacted drivers are Sikhs and Hispanics, according to Everett Yockey of Advanced Career Institute of Fresno. The state will work with the FMCSA to resolve CDL licensing concerns before March 6, 2026. FMCSA audits of training programs have identified improper sites and practices; some schools reportedly closed.
