HARLINGEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — The Texas Department of Public Safety has suspended commercial driver licenses for drivers who are non-citizens, refugees, asylees, and DACA recipients, according to a news release. The suspension comes after the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration changed an emergency rule on Friday due to 'horrific, fatal crashes.'
