A leaked internal USPS photo exposes the postal service’s defiance of new federal transportation safety rules, revealing continued use of drivers with potentially fraudulent commercial licenses tied to illegal immigration status.
Story Highlights
- USPS rescinded ban on ‘non-domiciled’ drivers despite new federal safety restrictions
- Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy imposed stricter CDL requirements after safety audits
- California plans to revoke 17,000 CDLs for expired legal immigration stays
- Senator Rick Scott demands accountability for prioritizing operations over safety compliance
Federal Safety Rules Defied by Postal Service
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy implemented comprehensive restrictions on commercial driver’s licenses following extensive audits that revealed widespread illegal issuance practices across multiple states. These new federal requirements mandate employment-based visas and thorough immigration status verification for CDL holders, specifically targeting safety hazards created by fraudulent licensing systems. The regulations emerged after documented cases showed states issuing commercial licenses to individuals without proper legal authorization, creating significant roadway safety risks for American drivers and communities.
California’s Massive CDL Fraud Exposes System Failures
California’s plan to revoke approximately 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses for expired legal immigration stays highlights the enormous scope of fraudulent licensing practices nationwide. This massive revocation demonstrates how sanctuary state policies have systematically undermined federal immigration enforcement while creating dangerous conditions on American highways. The scale suggests coordinated efforts to circumvent legal requirements, raising serious questions about state compliance with federal transportation safety standards.
Senator Rick Scott has demanded immediate accountability from USPS leadership, criticizing the agency’s decision to prioritize operational continuity over safety compliance and immigration law enforcement. His intervention reflects growing conservative frustration with federal agencies that actively subvert Trump administration immigration policies through bureaucratic resistance and operational dependency on illegal labor practices.
USPS Operational Dependence Overrides Safety Concerns
Internal documents reveal USPS initially complied with federal restrictions by temporarily banning drivers classified as “non-domiciled,” many holding questionable CDLs linked to illegal immigration status. However, the postal service quickly reversed this decision due to operational dependence on these drivers for mail delivery operations. This reversal directly contradicts the spirit of Duffy’s safety-focused regulations and demonstrates how government agencies prioritize bureaucratic convenience over public safety and immigration law compliance.
Previous attempts by USPS to exclude immigrant drivers with questionable legal status resulted in significant service disruptions, exposing the agency’s systematic reliance on potentially unauthorized workers. The pattern reveals how federal agencies have become structurally dependent on circumventing immigration enforcement, undermining both workplace integrity and national security protocols established to protect American workers and communities.
