In a significant victory for immigrant truck drivers in California, a court ruling blocks license revocations due to clerical errors. The Trump administration and state officials had sought to revoke licenses held by asylum seekers and others with temporary status. The ruling comes after a lawsuit from legal groups, and while drivers celebrate, state attorneys warn of potential bigger problems. The judge will issue a final ruling later this week, and California plans a process for renewals. Meanwhile, the feds hold back highway funds and threaten to end the states commercial licensing authority. A new federal rule blocks renewals for these immigrants starting next month, sparking lawsuits. California is also suing over the funding freeze, as driver shortages drive up freight costs nationwide.
