Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy made the announcement and immediately sent a 30-day ultimatum to Governor Tim Walz's administration.
The discovery was detailed in an audit by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and comes just one day after more than 400 Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) employees publicly accused Gov. Walz of covering up and retaliating against employees who reported that fraud was happening in the welfare systems.
The discovery was detailed in an audit by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and comes just one day after more than 400 Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) employees publicly accused Gov. Walz of covering up and retaliating against employees who reported that fraud was happening in the welfare systems.
That fraud ended up to be more than $1 billion stolen by Somali migrants.
Duffy has revoked the invalid licenses and put a stop to new issuances.
He is demanding Walz fix the problem or lose $30.4 million in federal funding.
"This audit exposes yet another example of unqualified non-citizens gaming the system at the expense of everyday Americans," Duffy said, emphasizing that Minnesota's failures have "endangered families on the road by handing trucking licenses to unsafe drivers."
