Summary
Monday’s promised announcement will unveil what Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called an “unprecedented fraud crackdown,” with DHS, DOJ, ICE and the White House anti-fraud task force involved.
The push centers on commercial trucking oversight, where DOT and DHS have been targeting improperly issued commercial driver’s licenses, falsified training records and unvetted foreign drivers.
About 75 commercial driving schools have been under joint investigation since July on suspicions they falsified records and improperly certified drivers.
The crackdown follows multiple fatal truck crashes involving illegal immigrants and fits a broader Trump administration campaign launched in March to coordinate fraud enforcement across benefits, trade, health care and immigration programs.
