The Trump administration announced an investigation into 75 entry-level truck driver CDL schools across the U.S. suspected of fraudulently helping illegal immigrants qualify for CDLs.
Investigation Details
The Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) are partnering to address fraud regarding the issuance of non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to illegal immigrants.
According to a release, FMCSA has identified approximately 75 entry-level driving training schools suspected of fraudulent activities, including using improper driver certifications, falsifying training records, and failing to properly train drivers applying for CDLs.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated that the crackdown comes after months of American deaths from truck-driving accidents caused by reported illegal immigrants.
