Trump Administration Transportation Policy

The Trump administration has moved to restrict Mexican train crews, citing safety concerns tied to English‑language proficiency rules. At the same time DOT Secretary Sean Duffy says the department is working with DHS to crack down on non‑domiciled commercial driver’s licenses issued to illegal or ineligible foreign nationals—prompting mass revocations in California (about 17,000), allegations of widespread illegal issuance in New York, threats to withhold federal funding from noncompliant states, and actions spurred by fatal crashes linked to licensing failures.
