California's delay in revoking 17,000 commercial driver's licenses for immigrants has led to a $160 million federal funding cut. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated the state failed to enforce English proficiency and revoke licenses for drivers with expired visas. Immigrant groups sued, prompting a delay until March. Duffy criticizes Governor Gavin Newsom for prioritizing illegal immigrants over public safety.
