U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that he is withholding $40 million in federal funding from California due to non-compliance with new trucking rules.
The rules, announced amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, require truck drivers to be proficient in the English language. This decision comes after a series of fatal crashes, including one in Florida involving an illegal migrant truck driver with a California commercial license who killed three people.
Secretary Duffy's announcement is part of a broader effort to enforce immigration and transportation regulations.
