U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is threatening to withhold $50 million in federal transportation aid and cancel North Carolina's ability to issue CDL trucking licenses altogether, after a federal audit revealed the Democratic administrations of Governors Roy Cooper and Josh Stein have been giving trucking licenses to illegal immigrants.

The US Department of Transportation audit found 54% of the CDL commercial trucking licenses issued by Cooper and Stein's disastrous DMV offices were granted illegally. These bogus licenses included CDLs that remained valid long after a driver’s lawful immigration presence had expired, licenses to Mexican citizens who were ineligible under federal law, and licenses where the state had "failed to verify the lawful presence of other CDL applicants entirely."

NC DMV offices and the issuance of CDL licenses have been under Democrat control and responsibility for nine years, since Governor Roy Cooper was sworn in on January 1, 2017, and was succeeded by current Democrat Governor Josh Stein. Roy Cooper is currently asking NC voters to elect him to the US Senate in the 2026 elections, and Governor Josh Stein's first term ends in 2029.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, “North Carolina’s failure to follow the rules isn’t just shameful – it’s dangerous. I’m calling on state leadership to immediately remove these dangerous drivers from our roads and clean up their system.” (Source)

Increased scrutiny of CDL licensure programs happened after triple-fatal crashes in August and October, 66 days apart, involving 18-wheelers in Florida and California driven by illegals who should not have received CDLs. In Washington State, an intoxicated illegal migrant released by the Biden administration, Jashanpreet Singh, crashed into and killed Robert B. Pearson, 29, of Bonney Lake. (SOURCE) Another higher-profile case involves criminal illegal alien Harjinder Singh, who used his California-derived CDL to attempt a third-world style illegal U-turn through an “Official Use Only” access point in St. Lucie County, Florida. By blocking all lanes of the highway with his truck, Singh caused a brutal wreck, instantly killing three innocent people and leaving Florida families shattered. (DHS SOURCE)

The auditing process has been ongoing throughout the second term of Republican President Donald Trump.

Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association President Todd Spencer said, “OOIDA and truckers across America applaud Secretary Duffy for responding to our concerns by taking substantial actions to crack down on the irresponsible issuance of non-domiciled CDLs in North Carolina. For too long, loopholes in this program have allowed unqualified drivers onto America’s highways, creating unnecessary safety risks for professional drivers and the motoring public alike.
These enforcement actions will also remove bad actors from the road and restore accountability to the system.” (Source)

The national organization Americans For Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC.us) was born out of a successful political fight in North Carolina to prevent Democrats from awarding in-state tuition to illegals and to get then Democrat Governor Mike Easley's administration to stop giving massive amounts of driver's licenses to illegals who came from all across the country to get them at NC DMV offices.

North Carolina native and founder of ALIPAC, William Gheen, is issuing the following statement...

"North Carolinians fought like hell to finally stop Democrats from giving driver licenses to illegals in 2006, which was making our state a top destination for illegal immigrants, and now we find fifteen years later that these sneaky Democrats are giving CDL trucking licenses to illegal aliens! Everyone should think about how Roy Cooper and Josh Stein gave illegal aliens CDL licenses the next time you pass an eighteen-wheeler on the highway and the next time you cast a ballot in an election. How many Americans lost their trucking jobs or are maimed or dead because of Cooper's and Stein's CDLs for illegals?"

ALIPAC is calling on allied activists and North Carolina candidates and lawmakers to take up the issue of demanding that Josh Stein's DMV immediately stop giving out illegal CDLs to illegal migrants, and that all who are involved with this betrayal of public safety and trust be removed from their taxpayer-funded jobs and positions of public service.
