Trump Admin Threatens To Withhold Millions From Purple State After Alleged Terrorist Truck Driver Arrested

The Trump administration is threatening Pennsylvania with millions in federal funding after a suspected terrorist truck driver was caught with a commercial license.

Pennsylvania violated federal safety regulations by unlawfully doling out non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) to foreigners, according to a letter submitted by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who accused the state of issuing these licenses to ineligible foreign nationals without verifying their legal status, said the DOT would withhold $75 million in federal funding unless Pennsylvania officials take immediate action to fix their CDL program.

The announcement follows the arrest of Akhror Bozorov, a criminal illegal migrant from Uzbekistan accused by his home country of having ties to terrorism. Bozorov —  who allegedly distributed terrorist propaganda that called for jihad online and recruited terrorists to join the jihad movement —  had obtained a CDL in Pennsylvania before 🛂Immigration officials nabbed him earlier this month.

“Under President Trump, this Department is taking every measure to ensure dangerous foreign drivers aren’t illegally operating 40-ton vehicles on American roads,” Duffy said in a Thursday statement.

“Joe Biden allowed tens of millions of illegals to pour into our country through open borders, including a suspected terrorist who Pennsylvania then allowed to get behind the wheel of a semitruck,” the DOT secretary continued. “I will continue to fight to get these dangerous drivers off our roads to protect American families and support our national security.”
