Duffy warns Walz to revoke illegally issued CDLs from non-citizens or lose $30M in highway funding
From Alpha News: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) to revoke illegally issued commercial driver’s licenses from non-citizens or lose over $30 million in federal highway funding.
“It just keeps getting worse for @GovTimWalz,” Duffy posted on X on Monday. “Just one day after 400 BRAVE employees from @MinnesotaDHS exposed ‘massive fraud,’ @USDOT has discovered that ONE THIRD of non-domiciled CDLs were issued ILLEGALLY in the state. MINNESOTA: You’re on notice. You have 30 days to fix this or lose $30 million in federal funding.”
Duffy reposted a Daily Wire article in which he told the outlet that a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration audit found that one-third of Minnesota’s non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses were issued illegally.
“Our audit exposes yet another example of foreigners taking advantage of Minnesota services under Governor Walz’s watch,” Duffy told the Daily Wire. “Minnesota failed to follow the law and illegally doled out trucking licenses to unsafe, unqualified non-citizens — endangering American families on the road. That abuse stops now under the Trump Administration.”
