The Supreme Court rejected Florida’s lawsuit against California and Washington over those states issuing Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) to immigrants in the country illegally. Florida filed the suit following a fatal 2025 crash in St. Lucie County, Florida, caused by an unlicensed immigrant driver holding CDLs from those Western states.
The high court declined the request without explanation. Because state-versus-state disputes fall directly under the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction, this direct-action lawsuit required the justices to step in as a trial court. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, arguing the Court was obligated to hear the dispute because Florida had no other venue to bring its claims.
It leaves states without the best avenue to stop the deaths caused by other states’ recklessness.
Since then, lives have been lost as blue states continue to give CDLs to unqualified people, without accountability.
In 2025, a five-year-old suffered severe brain damage from a crash in California, a criminal alien killed three in Florida, and another reckless illegal immigrant driver of a CDL killed two in Oregon.
In 2026, four were killed in Indiana, and another was killed in Hendricks County.
A Haitian illegal alien killed a state trooper in Pennsylvania. A UMass star soccer player was killed by an Uzbek who couldn’t speak a word of English.
All these people were victims of people who shouldn’t be in the country.
