The federal government will withhold about $160 million from California for failing to cancel more than 17,000 illegally issued commercial driver’s licenses by Jan. 5, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced on Jan. 7.
“It’s reckoning day for [Gov.] Gavin Newsom and California,” Duffy said in a statement. “Our demands were simple: Follow the rules, revoke the unlawfully issued licenses to dangerous foreign drivers, and fix the system so this never happens again.”
