It highlights recent arrests of undocumented truck drivers holding non-domiciled Commercial driver&#8217;s Licenses (CDLs), which some states-including California and Pennsylvania-have allegedly issued illegally to foreign drivers who may lack proper knowledge of U.S. road laws. <\/p>\n<p>A notable case involved Akhror Bozorov, an accused terrorist from Uzbekistan, who was arrested while driving a commercial truck in Kansas. Despite being wanted in his home country for terrorist activities, Bozorov had managed to receive a Pennsylvania CDL and a Real ID, raising questions about state-issued licenses to undocumented individuals. Pennsylvania&#8217;s Department of Transportation claimed to verify applicants&#8217; legal status through federal databases before issuing licenses, though the state paused issuing non-domiciled CDLs following new federal FMCSA rules.<\/p>\n<p>The article also reviews other fatal crashes linked to non-domiciled CDL holders, including cases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tuesday-afternoon-update-lindsey-graham-defends-biden-report-says-pence-has-classified-docs-corruption-in-ukraine\/\" title=\"Tuesday Afternoon Update: Lindsey Graham Defends Biden, Report Says Pence Has Classified Docs, Corruption In Ukraine?\">illegal aliens charged<\/a> with vehicular manslaughter and reckless homicide. It notes a recent enforcement crackdown in Oklahoma that resulted in numerous illegal alien arrests, many for operating trucks without proper licenses.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has initiated plans to restrict eligibility for non-domiciled commercial licenses to improve road safety. however, these efforts face legal challenges in court. The article concludes by expressing alarm over how current border and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >licensing policies potentially endanger public safety<\/a> by allowing undocumented and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/are-we-china-now-rep-jordan-highlights-potential-collusion-to-investigate-maga-supporters\/\" title=\"Is the U.S. Becoming China?

Illegal alien Akhror Bozorov of Uzbekistan, was arrested by ICE on Nov. 9, while he was illegally working as a commercial truck driver. Bozorov, 31, is wanted in Uzbekistan for belonging to a terrorist organization, according to an ICE statement.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>\n<div>\n<p>         <span>Image Credit<\/span>Akhror Bozorov (ICE)       <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&ldquo;Uzbekistan authorities issued an arrest warrant for Bozorov in 2022 for being a member of a terrorist organization. He is accused of distributing terrorist propaganda, calling for jihad online, and recruiting terrorists to join the jihad movement,&rdquo; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2025\/11\/17\/ice-arrests-uzbekistan-criminal-illegal-alien-and-wanted-terrorist-driving-18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statement<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p>Bozorov illegally snuck into the United States in February 2023, according to ICE. He was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol and released to aimlessly drift around the nation, as per the Biden Administration&rsquo;s immigration free-for-all policy.<\/p>\n<p>The accused terrorist found comfort in Gov. Josh Shapiro&rsquo;s Pennsylvania, where, on July 7, 2025, Bozorov was issued a non-domiciled CDL complete with a driver&rsquo;s license number.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that to register to vote in Pennsylvania, an applicant needs to write down a driver&rsquo;s license or a Social Security number on a voter registration form. Bozorov may have had both. Incredibly, the gold star on the upper right corner of his license shows that Bozorov had enough documentation for Pennsylvania&rsquo;s Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to issue a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pa.gov\/agencies\/dmv\/driver-services\/real-id\/real-id-info-for-non-us-citizens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Real ID<\/a> license, good until Jan. 2029. Both the non-domiciled CDL and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pa.gov\/agencies\/dmv\/driver-services\/real-id\/real-id-info-for-non-us-citizens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Real ID<\/a> are supposed to be issued only to <em>lawfully present<\/em> non-U.S. citizens. Those illegally present in the U.S. are not entitled to the license or the work.<\/p>\n<p>The Pennsylvania GOP issued a statement calling for an investigation into how Bozorov was granted a license.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Whenever non-citizen applicants apply for a CDL in Pennsylvania, PennDOT reviews the necessary immigration and naturalization documents and completes the federal process for verifying lawful presence, confirming the non-citizen&rsquo;s legal status in real-time using the U.S. Department of Homeland Security&rsquo;s SAVE database before issuing a license,&rdquo; PennDOT Press Secretary Alexis Campbell told The Federalist in an email. &ldquo;If the applicant clears the federal SAVE process, which confirms the applicant is residing in the U.S. under legal status, and successfully meets all other criteria, a license is issued. PennDOT completes these two checks to confirm legal status with the federal government every time it issues a license to a non-citizen, and has followed this process without exception in 2025.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>PennDOT has issued approximately 12,000 non-domiciled CDLs and Commercial Learner&rsquo;s Permits, Campbell said.  <\/p>\n<p>In September, Pennsylvania <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pa.gov\/agencies\/dmv\/driver-services\/proof-of-identity-and-residency\/documentation-for-cdl-drivers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">paused<\/a> the issuance of all non-domiciled commercial driver licenses in accordance with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2025\/09\/29\/2025-18869\/restoring-integrity-to-the-issuance-of-non-domiciled-commercial-drivers-licenses-cdl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new rules<\/a> from the FMCSA.<\/p>\n<h2>Deadly Drivers <\/h2>\n<p>U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced in September an immediate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transportation.gov\/briefing-room\/trumps-transportation-secretary-sean-p-duffy-takes-emergency-action-protect-americas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plan<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmcsa.dot.gov\/sites\/fmcsa.dot.gov\/files\/2025-09\/Fact%20Sheet_Protecting%20America%27s%20Roads_Restoring%20Integrity%20to%20Non-Domiciled%20CDLs%20%285%29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restrict<\/a> who is eligible for a non-domiciled commercial learner&rsquo;s permits (CLPs) or CDLs. At that point, the FMCSA had identified at least five fatal crashes since January involving non-domiciled CDL holders. Of course, that plan was challenged in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmcsa.dot.gov\/sites\/fmcsa.dot.gov\/files\/2025-11\/2025-11-13%20Stay%20Order.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">court<\/a>, and currently the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has issued a stay pending review&nbsp;of the newly issued rules.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Licenses to operate a massive, 80,000-pound truck are being issued to dangerous foreign drivers &ndash; often times illegally.
