Immigrant truckers in legal limbo
from Border Report Live · host borderreportlive
The Trump administration recently ordered the state of California to revoke the commercial driver’s licenses of thousands of immigrants, and there’s no telling when or if they’ll get them back. According to CalMatters, multiple lawsuits have been filed to restore those trucking licenses, but none have been successful. Adam Echelman, of CalMatters, reported that as many as 61,000 California truck drivers could loose lose their licenses in the coming years as a result of the federal actions. Echelman appeared on Border Report Live on Thursday. He outlined some of the policies that are aimed at getting many immigrant workers off U.S. roads and some that ban what he described as an entire class of immigrants from getting commercial driver’s licenses.
