Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the move alongside Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, saying tens of thousands of illegal drivers’ licenses were issued during former President Joe Biden’s administration.

The administration is shutting down 110 driving schools that were the “greatest offenders” in granting drivers’ licenses to illegal immigrants, as well as 160 additional schools that Duffy says lacked proper space for driving tests or had unlicensed instructors.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration chief Derek Barrs said each of the 110 “greatest offenders” passed at least 10 drivers who were “subsequently cited for English language proficiency during roadside inspections by law enforcement.”

Mullin added that illegal immigrants with CDLs have been a major factor in immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, saying that Immigration and Customs Enforcement found over 100 individuals who had been granted CDLs, “and literally on the CDLs it said, ‘No name given.'”
