The Trump administration announced Thursday it is investigating 75 entry-level truck driver CDL schools across the U.S. that are suspected of fraudulently helping non-citizen drivers qualify for CDLs.
The Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) are partnering to address fraud regarding the issuance of non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to illegal aliens.
"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, among other violations," DHS announced in a release Thursday.
The crackdown comes after months of American deaths from truck-driving accidents caused by reported illegal immigrants.
"Too many American lives have been lost in completely avoidable accidents because illegal aliens have been granted commercial driver's licenses to drive trucks and 18-wheelers on America's roadways," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin wrote in a statement.
"DHS law enforcement is partnering with the Department of Transportation to eliminate CDL fraud, strengthen the integrity of the CDL system, and investigate commercial driver's license schools throughout the country. This is a whole-of-government approach, to keep America's roads safe."
