After two truck crashes in Texas with illegal immigrant drivers left 10 dead. This one is finally getting traction.

Illegal immigrant truck driver accused in deadly Florida crash got Biden work permit after Trump denial: DHS

I believe it is the truck dash cam video that show the minivan slamming into the trailer and the drivers blasé response to the incident.

Hopefully this will result in a crackdown on fly by night trucking firms registered in apartments and mailboxes and a focused check on Commerical drivers for legal residency and English proficiency.

And require their employers to verify they are leagalldy in the US, whether they have a CDL or not.

Note the companies that employ illegals also often skimp on maintenance and safety as well.

This FL crash WA and CA issued the driver a Commercial Drivers License (CDL). Even when he failed his tests.

CA and WA I want to see criminal charges for the Governors, the director of the Licensing department, down to the clerk who issued the licenses. CDL are Federally Regulated. Issuance of a CDL to an illegal who cannot meet requirements is a Federal Crime.

Most legit Trucking companies don't want the liability of a bad driver. However the illegal aliens who are driving are universally driver for a "paper" company. The have a DOT and MCC registration out of a apartment or mail box. There isn't a real employer. Absolutely there needs to be a thorough audit of the DOT/MCC registrations.

I also think a nationwide emphasis at weigh stations and traffic stops for proper licensing and registrations. A LEO doesn't need probably cause to stop a commercial truck. Then can be stopped at any time for paperwork or vehicle inspection.

An appeals court throws out a massive civil fraud penalty against President Trump

"While the injunctive relief ordered by the court is well crafted to curb defendants' business culture, the court's disgorgement order, which directs that defendants pay nearly half a billion dollars to the State of New York, is an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution," Judges Dianne T. Renwick and Peter H. Moulton wrote in one of several opinions shaping the appeals court's ruling.

Two judges wrote that they felt New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against Trump and his companies was justifiable and that she had proven her case but the penalty was too severe. One wrote that James exceeded her legal authority in bringing the suit, saying that if any of Trump's lenders felt cheated, they could have sued him themselves, and none did. One judge wrote that Engoron erred by ruling before the trial began that the attorney general had proved Trump engaged in fraud.
