Over 9,500 truck drivers removed since April for failing English proficiency under new Trump enforcement.
The Trump administration has intensified enforcement of English-language requirements for commercial truck drivers, removing over 9,500 drivers since April due to inadequate proficiency, according to federal data.
The policy, stemming from an April executive order, allows immediate removal during roadside inspections, citing safety concerns related to understanding road signs and emergency communications.
While language standards have existed for years, enforcement was previously minimal.
The shift has disrupted the trucking industry, causing driver shortages, rerouted shipments, and increased costs.
It follows a fatal crash involving a foreign-born driver with a prior immigration violation, prompting broader immigration-related restrictions, including suspensions of worker visas and non-resident CDLs.
Critics argue the policy disproportionately affects legally working immigrants and creates fear, while the administration maintains it enhances highway safety.
A federal court has paused some aspects, but enforcement continues in many areas.
