Indianas New Law Revokes Non-Domiciled CDLs for Immigrant Truckers: A Safety Move or Overreach?
Indiana has recently revoked nearly two thousand non-domiciled commercial drivers licenses under a new state law aimed at foreign workers without full U.S. residency. The law, signed by Governor Mike Braun in mid-March, targets less than two percent of the states commercial drivers, leaving regular licenses untouched for citizens and green card holders.
The push for the law came after federal regulators flagged twenty-four states, including Indiana, for handing out these licenses too loosely, and a string of deadly crashes linked to immigrant drivers. Supporters argue its a safety win to weed out untrained drivers and cut risks on the roads, while critics claim its overly broad and slams legal immigrants, refugees, and even DACA recipients who lose their jobs hauling essential cargo.
As Indiana enforces English-only tests and out-of-state crackdowns, the debate rages on highways nationwide, balancing safety with livelihoods in a tight labor market.
