Feds Launch CDL Fraud Task Force With 1,000 Leads Across 23 States
1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 10
Summary
More than 1,000 leads and inspections at 200-plus driving schools in 23 states have already fed the new Joint Task Force Crossroads of America, which targets fraud and criminal activity in commercial driver licensing.
The crackdown follows a federal audit that found widespread irregularities, including over half of New York commercial trucking licenses allegedly going to illegal drivers and 25% of California CDLs being unlawfully issued.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy had already imposed emergency restrictions in September 2025 and withheld $73 million from New York after the state refused to comply and sued.
A November 6 federal ruling ordering New York City to honor an ICE subpoena could strengthen efforts to seek DMV records, widening the campaign beyond CDL fraud to broader immigration and licensing enforcement.
