US transportation secretary says he’ll revoke $160m from California over non-citizen truck licenses

Sean Duffy says state is illegally issuing commercial driver's licenses, but DMV spokesperson says California is complying with law

Sean Duffy, the US transportation secretary, warned on Sunday that he was about make good on a threat to revoke millions in federal funds for California because he says the state is illegally issuing commercial driver's licenses to non-citizens.

In an appearance on Fox News Channel's Sunday Morning Futures, Duffy said Gavin Newsom, California's governor, had refused to comply with Department of Transportation rules that require the state to stop issuing such licenses and review those already issued.
