California has taken the controversial step of revoking 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses issued to immigrants, a decision that has sparked significant backlash and debate. The move is seen as part of a broader enforcement effort following federal scrutiny, particularly from the Trump administration, which claims these licenses were issued illegally. The revocation affects many immigrant truckers, with implications for businesses in regions like Kern County that rely on these drivers. State officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom, have disputed the rationale behind the federal pressure, insisting that the decision was not primarily driven by immigration concerns. The situation has raised fears among immigrant communities and has become a focal point in the ongoing dispute between state and federal authorities over immigration policy and licensing regulations.
