Ohio Cracks Down on CDLs for Foreign-Born Drivers

Amid federal scrutiny and concerns about commercial driver’s licenses being in the hands of unqualified drivers, Ohio is cracking down on CDLs for those drivers not born in the United States. The CDLs of 1,200 foreign-born drivers will be downgraded to a Class D by the state for failing to adequately meet standards proving they are in the United States legally. Ohio Department of Public Safety spokesman Bret Crow confirmed the downgrade to The Center Square last week. “Those receiving this notice who believe their documents do meet the updated federal standards may request a hearing with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to dispute the downgrade and/or submit additional documentation to BMV to prove their eligibility,” he said.

Commentary: Trump’s Iran Deal: Pragmatic Victory, Not Appeasement

On May 8, I argued in an American Greatness article that President Trump should end the Iran War immediately with a clear ultimatum to Tehran rather than prolonged negotiations. The objectives had already been achieved through decisive military action: Iran’s nuclear program set back by decades, its conventional military and missile capabilities gutted, and its proxy networks crippled. Further fighting risked turning this U.S. win into another endless quagmire. An ultimatum—halt threats to Hormuz and guarantee safe passage for shipping, or face renewed and devastating strikes—would lock in those gains from a position of overwhelming strength. The agreement scheduled to be signed on Friday in Switzerland does this. The deal is not a retreat from this vision. It is its pragmatic realization.
