flag The Trump administration began revoking CDLs for 200,000 non-citizens on March 16, 2026, citing safety, sparking legal challenges and labor concerns.

flag On March 16, 2026, the Trump administration began phasing out commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) for about 200,000 non-citizens, including asylum seekers, refugees, and DACA recipients, as their licenses expire. flag The rule, citing safety concerns after high-profile crashes, restricts CDL eligibility to specific visa holders like H-2A, H-2B, and E-2, while eliminating access for most non-citizens. flag Though all CDL applicants must pass the same tests, critics argue the policy is discriminatory and risks worsening the trucking industry’s labor shortages, potentially raising freight costs. flag Legal challenges are ongoing, with some courts temporarily allowing affected drivers to keep their licenses. flag The move follows stricter English requirements, audits of training centers, and threats of federal funding cuts to states.
