Indiana officials<\/a> are moving to revoke commercial driver\u2019s licenses (CDLs) for immigrants unable to provide valid work visas, with all affected licenses set to expire at midnight Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement on social media Tuesday afternoon, Indiana Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith said that moving forward, all future non-citizen CDL applications<\/a> will need one of three approved work visas, while also requiring the driver to demonstrate proficiency in English.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The announcement comes days after Fox News cameras embedded<\/a> with federal safety officials in Florida captured troubling encounters with truck drivers who couldn\u2019t read road signs or communicate in English.<\/p>\n

State troopers said that up to half of truckers at some Florida\u00a0weigh stations fail to meet English proficiency requirements.<\/p>\n

In addition to the new visa requirements, Beckwith said any employers who “knowingly hire illegal drivers” without a valid CDL will face a $50,000 fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is a great first step in making our streets safer for Hoosiers,” Beckwith wrote in the statement. “Now it\u2019s our duty to enforce these new laws<\/a> and prevent any more senseless deaths.”<\/p>\n

Deadly crashes have been reported nationwide involving drivers the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)<\/a> confirmed were in the U.S. illegally or operating with CDLs they should never have had.<\/p>\n

In February, an illegal immigrant truck driver from India allegedly ran a red light, causing a fatal crash in Hendricks County, Indiana.<\/p>\n

Singh Sukhdeep received his commercial driver’s license in May 2025, despite being caught and released after crossing the U.S. border illegally in 2018.<\/p>\n

In a Florida case, Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant<\/a> from India, was charged after a tractor-trailer crash left three people dead.<\/p>\n

The tractor-trailer, driven by Singh, allegedly made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike through an “Official Use Only” access point in St. Lucie County, blocking all lanes of the highway and leading to the crash.<\/p>\n

His brother, Harneet Singh, 25, also an illegal immigrant from India, was riding as a passenger at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n

Harjinder Singh, who allegedly entered the U.S. illegally and obtained a CDL in California, is facing three counts of vehicular homicide, according to officials.<\/p>\n
