Immigrant and Sikh Truckers Sue California Over License Cancellations
Immigrant Punjabi Sikh truckers in California have sued the DMV after the agency revoked their licenses due to clerical errors related to expiration dates, risking widespread unemployment and supply chain disruptions. The lawsuit, filed by the Sikh Coalition and Asian Law Caucus, argues that the DMV failed to follow legal procedures and that the action was influenced by federal pressure, highlighting broader issues of racial profiling and industry impact. The case underscores ongoing tensions around immigrant drivers, licensing standards, and racial discrimination in the U.S. trucking industry.
