The Trump administration barred DACA recipients and asylum-seekers from commercial driver's licenses as of March 11, 2026, citing safety, despite no evidence of higher crash rates.
The Trump administration has finalized a rule restricting commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) for immigrants with temporary legal status, including DACA recipients and asylum-seekers, citing safety concerns after high-profile crashes.
The rule, effective March 11, 2026, bars these individuals from obtaining or keeping CDLs, potentially affecting about 200,000 workers, despite existing federal bans on issuing licenses to undocumented immigrants.
The policy, linked to the "Dalilah Law" named after a child injured in a crash involving an undocumented driver, requires federal-level vetting of foreign driving records, which officials say state DMVs cannot access.
Critics argue the rule lacks evidence of higher crash rates among immigrant drivers, targets law-abiding residents, and could harm road safety by removing experienced, lawful truckers.
Legal challenges are ongoing, and affected drivers like Jorge Rivera, a DACA recipient and veteran trucker, fear losing their livelihoods.
