DOT Yanks $40.6M From California Over Trucker English Rule Amid Crackdown On Illegal Immigrant Drivers

Breitbart promotes November policy events featuring DOT Secretary Sean Duffy and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin while highlighting Duffy’s enforcement push on commercial driver English proficiency. The article references DOT’s recent decision to withhold $40.6M from California for noncompliance, part of a broader federal campaign pressuring multiple states (CA, WA, NM). External reporting (Reuters) confirms the withholding action and prior warnings. This positions the story within an accelerating federal enforcement trend tied to immigration-related driver eligibility and road safety.
