USA Threatens Funding After California Extends Migrant Trucker Deadline

#Fresno, #USA
Sean Duffy threatened to withhold $160 million in federal funding after California extended a license renewal deadline for 17,000 migrant truck drivers to March 6. The California Department of Motor Vehicles granted the extension following a class-action lawsuit filed by the Sikh Coalition and the Asian Law Caucus. Federal officials insist on enforcement of English proficiency and licensing rules amid broader tensions as Donald Trump drops plans for National Guard deployments.
