Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said on Tuesday that the California Department of Motor Vehicles does not have an extension to the deadline for the cancellation of commercial driver’s licenses issued to foreign nationals who do not have legal U.S. status, disputing the delay announced by the department.

The California DMV said that the roughly 17,000 licenses that were set to be terminated on Jan. 5 will now last until March 6, but Duffy said the licenses will not be afforded a 60-day extension and that failing to meet the deadline could result in lost federal funding.

“[California Gov.] Gavin Newsom is lying,” Duffy wrote on X. “The deadline to revoke illegally issued, unvetted foreign trucker licenses is still January 5.”

“California does NOT have an ‘extension’ to keep breaking the law and putting Americans at risk on the roads,” he continued.
