Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy accused California Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> of violating new federal commercial licensing rules by purportedly allowing an immigrant in the country illegally to maintain a commercial driver\u2019s license (CDL).\u00a0<\/p>\n

That truck driver is accused of causing a freeway crash that resulted in three fatalities on Tuesday in California.<\/p>\n

Newsom is blaming the federal government for the crash, arguing its policies ultimately allowed the suspect to receive a license. Duffy rejected that claim.<\/p>\n

The dispute comes as the transportation secretary threatens to withhold millions in federal highway funds from California and expands a federal review into how non-citizens acquire state-issued licenses.<\/p>\n

WHITE HOUSE SAYS CALIFORNIA GRANTED LICENSE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCKER CHARGED IN FATAL DUI CRASH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Had Gavin followed our rules per DOT, this guy would have never been on the road. Three more people would be alive,” Duffy said Friday on “America Reports<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The deadly crash occurred Tuesday on a Southern California freeway. Jashanpreet Singh, a 21-year-old Indian national, allegedly drove a semi-truck while under the influence, causing a multi-car pile-up with three fatalities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the Department of Transportation, California violated<\/a> new federal rules by upgrading Singh\u2019s non-domiciled CDL despite an emergency rule and compliance notice issued Sept. 26.<\/p>\n

“If California had complied with the Secretary\u2019s emergency rule and prevented the upgrade of this individual\u2019s driving privileges earlier this month, he would have never been able to get behind his big rig,” according to a department statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The rule was designed to restrict eligibility for non-citizen licenses and require states to verify applicants\u2019 legal status.<\/p>\n

California first issued Singh his CDL<\/a> in June, but upgraded it in mid-October, weeks after the new federal restrictions took effect, according to the Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n

Newsom\u2019s press office called the crash “tragic,” but accused the Trump administration of trying to score “political points.”<\/p>\n

“This is tragic, and as with every tragedy over the last ten months, Secretary Noem has ordered Secretary Duffy to look for every opportunity to manipulate the facts to score cheap political points,” his office wrote on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

“The FEDERAL government approved and renewed this individual\u2019s FEDERAL employment authorization multiple times \u2013 which allowed him to obtain a commercial driver\u2019s license in accordance with FEDERAL law.”<\/p>\n

Duffy didn\u2019t accept the governor\u2019s message.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s nice to see Gavin tap-dance in a tweet, good for him,” he said.<\/p>\n

“But the truth is, we do set the guidelines by which licenses can be issued. We sent that guidance out. Gavin Newsom said, \u2018I\u2019m not going to follow it. I\u2019m going to allow this foreigner to get an upgraded license.’ That was Gavin Newsom\u2019s choice. The states issue commercial driver’s licenses. We give the guidance, they issue them.”<\/p>\n

“California rules and regulations for Commercial Driver\u2019s Licensing are consistent with federal law,” Newsom’s office told Fox News Digital in part.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The California Transportation Agency posted on X: “MISINFORMATION ALERT: The state does not determine commercial driver\u2019s license eligibility. The FEDERAL government approves and renews all FEDERAL employment authorization documents that allows individuals to work and obtain commercial driver\u2019s licenses.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
