Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy Cancels 7,200 Truckers' Licenses for Failing to Meet the Requiremnt of Speaking English

Keep Americans safe.

More than 7,200 commercial truck drivers have been taken off America's highways since the Department of Transportation (DOT), under Secretary Sean Duffy, began enforcing new English language proficiency standards in May -- part of a Trump administration effort to strengthen safety rules gutted under Barack Obama.

"[DOT] requires commercial truck drivers to speak and understand English to operate a big rig -- or they will be taken out of service," Duffy wrote on X. "This is about [President Trump] and his administration making America's roads SAFE again!"

According to the DOT, roughly 7,250 truckers have been placed out of service for failing the reinstated English standards, which the Obama-era DOT had weakened to accommodate foreign drivers -- many of whom, officials say, lacked even a basic ability to read road signs or communicate with law enforcement. Duffy said the new standards are designed to crack down on the black market trucking industry that relies on cheap foreign labor with limited or no English proficiency.

The announcement follows a series of deadly highway crashes involving foreign or illegal alien truck drivers. In one recent case, an illegal alien from India allegedly killed three Americans in California -- a sanctuary state that issued him a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) without enforcing the federal English language requirement. "My prayers are with the families of the victims of this tragedy. It would have never happened if Gavin Newsom had followed our new rules," Duffy said. "California broke the law, and now three people are dead and two are hospitalized. These people deserve justice. There will be consequences."

Duffy is reportedly weighing penalties, including withholding millions in federal funds from California, for failing to follow the Trump administration's CDL standards.

Another similar case occurred in Florida, where an illegal alien -- also from India -- is accused of killing three people after making an illegal U-turn on a highway. Investigators discovered the man had failed a written driving test 10 times but was still granted a CDL in both Washington and California, two sanctuary states. After the crash, DOT officials administered an English proficiency assessment, which the driver failed -- answering only 2 of 12 verbal questions correctly and recognizing just 1 of 4 traffic signs.

No more Third World Assassins driving their Murder Rigs over American citizens.

Note that this is not about stopping illegal aliens from receiving SNAP benefits -- just to stop the Department of Agriculture from even counting the number of illegal aliens receiving the benefits.

They want to rob you and subordinate you, and they will use every means fair and foul from even learning about their intentions.
