Minnesota Faces Federal Ultimatum Over Illegal Driver Licenses
Liberty Check
- The Department of Transportation gave Minnesota 30 days to revoke illegal licenses for non-domiciled commercial drivers.
- Auditors discovered the state issued licenses to individuals without valid legal presence and to those specifically prohibited from holding such documentation.
- Federal officials warn that continued noncompliance will result in withholding of essential transportation funding.
Federal intervention is looming over Minnesota as the Department of Transportation demands the state revoke unlawfully issued commercial driver’s licenses or risk losing more than $30 million in federal highway funds.
A recent audit showed that Minnesota issued a significant portion of non-domiciled licenses illegally, igniting a standoff between the state and Washington.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy declared,
“Our audit exposes yet another example of foreigners taking advantage of Minnesota services under Governor Walz’s watch.”
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is insisting that Minnesota pause new non-domiciled license issuances, identify all existing violations, and correct the failures through a full internal audit.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration official Derek D. Barrs asserted,
“Following the law is not optional.”
The Department’s actions follow an executive order from President Trump demanding English proficiency for commercial drivers to protect Americans on the road.
Government agencies are under renewed scrutiny to uphold basic safety standards and prioritize the rights of citizens.
Stay alert to further developments and stand up for accountability in state and federal governance.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
