White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed California issued a CDL to an illegal immigrant suspected in a fatal DUI crash that killed three people.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday that California issued a commercial driver’s license (CDL) to an illegal immigrant truck driver charged in a fatal DUI crash that killed three people.
„I can confirm that California gave this individual a license, and it is something that the Department of Transportation has already looked into“, Leavitt said. „I know Secretary Duffy, who’s doing a phenomenal job, has spoken on this many times in the crackdown that the Department of Transportation is taking on these licenses that are wrongfully being issued to people who clearly do not deserve to uphold these positions.“
Leavitt said the individual first entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 „and was released into our country by the previous administration.“
She added that the Department of Transportation (DOT) was cracking down on the issuing of CDLs amid a „disturbing pattern“ of them being given to illegal immigrants.
