Supreme Court Denies Florida's Lawsuit Against Western States Over Immigrant Truck Licenses
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected Florida's attempt to sue California and Washington state over their issuance of commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to immigrants who are not authorized to be in the United States. The case arose after a fatal crash in Florida involving a driver with a CDL from California, who was also licensed in Washington. Florida, led by Republican officials, argued that these states were defying federal immigration laws by issuing licenses to non-citizens. The Supreme Court's decision not to hear the case leaves the lower court's ruling intact, which allows states to continue issuing CDLs to immigrants under their current policies. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, arguing that the court should have heard the case.
