Illinois Tightens CDL Renewals for Immigrants Amid ICE Trucker Detentions

The policy change affects immigrant truckers' ability to maintain legal driving status, potentially disrupting freight operations. The scope and enforcement details remain unclear, but the move signals a tightening of state-level immigration enforcement tied to commercial transport.
