More than 20,000 illegal alien commercial truck drivers in California were about to lose their licenses, until a judge stepped in.
The Trump administration has been pressuring California to revoke the licenses of some illegal alien truck drivers after a series of news reports about truck drivers who did not understand English, causing deadly accidents.
An Alameda County Superior Court judge issued a ruling on Wednesday barring the state from canceling the licenses.

And every death that is caused by one of these illegal drivers the judge should be named as an accessory to murder.

There's a lot of focus on the high-profile accidents illegal drivers cause. How about so-called minor accidents where a car still gets badly damaged and occupants have life-long injuries? I bet they are causing a lot of those too, but minor accidents are largely ignored by the media.

The judicial and legislative branches do not give a flying Foxtrot about the peoples safety. Their only goal is to slay the orange dragon. Your pursuit of happiness is of no consequence to them. Read our Declaration of Independence - it specifically references the governments responsibilities to our Safety and Happiness. How's that working out for you lately?

The SeeBS report is factually fraudulent. First these are ILLEGAL ALIENS, not "immigrants". And second, these licenses were being cancelled because the drivers had been licensed fraudulently, not "due to clerical issues".
These illegal aliens were NOT ELIGIBLE to have a CDL.

California has a small problem, If they don't revoke the licenses the Feds will withhold the money, if they do comply they will be in held in contemp. A problem they did to themselves.

These are illegal aliens. They have jobs as truck drivers. Is the company not violating federal law? Can they be fined? They have the drivers names, and access to their photo ids. Why can't ICE pull the trucks over and arrest the drivers and inform the company to come pick up their truck?
And yes, charge the judge in any bodily injury cases. And give his name to the ambulance chasers for the civil suits. Can the lawyers find a way through any shield laws?

So, "An Alameda County Superior Court judge".... a COUNTY judge- has taken it on themselves to overrule who- the State government, the Federal government? Is there ANY limit to these judge's presumed power? Does the putting on of black robes grant the wearer infinite power?
What was it the Leftists were screaming just a month or two ago? Oh yes, it was:
"NO KINGS!"

I gotta ask, d'ya think that the spouse of the next person who dies as a result of this ruling will be set free for the justifiable homicide of this judge?

FTA: "Katherine Zhao, an attorney with Asian Law Caucus, argued in court that the move would “have a devastating impact, not only on the individuals like you mentioned but their livelihoods because having a commercial license is a requirement of their jobs, but also it would impact their families, the communities that they serve, as well as the larger state and if not the country, because they’re providing essential services.”
So we should not arrest bank robbers because doing so would impact their ability to earn a living and support their families?

The licensing laws of states surrounding California would apply and they could arrest these drivers as soon as they crossed over out of California. They will do something stupid of course, like bring their loads to the border and transfer them to legal truckers.

This Judge should be held responsible for any property damage, injury, or death caused by these ILLEGAL aliens. He is defacto an accessory.

Impeach and Convict this HACK-tivist Judge and take away his Law License too. We don't need ANYONE like that anywhere near a courtroom... not even on Jury Duty!

#2, I heard a man interviewed on the radio yesterday whose daughter was killed in just the scenario you are writing about. She and three college friends were in a car sitting at a red light when they were rear-ended by a drunk illegal who was going 80 mph.
These judges need to be charged as accessories and imprisoned for the rest of their sorry lives.

More proof of Trump’s point in his SOTU speech. Liberals do not care about the safety of Americans.That is clear. This poison has seeped into every level of our society. This judge, like most of them, overstepped his authority to protect non-English speaking illegals. This will be quickly appealed and overturned.

Judges wouldn't be less inclined to do this sort of crap if they'd be forced to commit "seppuku" (traditional Samurai "belly cutting") should their rulings from the Bench result in serious injury or death.

They need to change the laws where these black robed thugs can be held responsible for the carnage they unleash.

The government of CA must really enjoy all those deaths at the hands of illegal aliens who can't read, write, or drive properly. Blood is on the hands of every person who refuses to get rid of these drivers.

Probably can't legally hold the judges responsible but the company hiring these illegal truck jockeys can be sued into bankruptcy. They hire these drivers because they will work cheaper. The owners should be held responsible if they can't hide behind the 'corporate veil' but their assets including trucks can be seized. As a former insurance agent, I don't know how the trucking companies can get insurance if they become aware of who the drivers are. The trucking companies are responsible for illegals and poorly trained drivers on the road, and it's simply greed. They are aware of who their drivers are in spite of any denials.

The congress of the United States of America better get off their collective, self serving, self protecting arses and pass legislation SPECIFICALLY outlawing anyone in this country ILLEGALLY from applying for or receiving ANY benefits or "rights" granted to American Citizens. That would include ALL welfare monies, education, health care, and ANY licenses of any kind.

Since the Interstates are Federal highways, will these drivers take side roads? Because you an bet that on Monday the rules for Interstate highways will be enforced..

Why hasn't the administration deported them? The president could order ICE checkpoints on interstate highways and all illegals found taken into custody. Those who have never been charged could be taken before a judge and removal orders obtained and executed. All very legal and, even if time consuming, at least the ball gets rolling towards deportation. Besides the ruling of a single county judge, whose jurisdiction is Alameda County, only applies to Alameda County. Since county judges are elected within their respective counties, it wouldn't surprise me if Alameda County Superior Court judge is an illegal alien. In California, court decision involving (restricted) judicial review of state government decisions are only made pursuant to lower court appeals. The article gave no evidence that this case was appealed from a lower court decision, this particular judge's ruling is ripe to be overturned.

What #2 and #16 said. The judiciary must come clean and deal with its rogue "judges". And what to do with the companies who hired the illegals?

If those foreign origin truck drivers are illegal aliens they need permission to be employed in the USA before they can legally work in the USA. If not their employer can be fined and potentially criminally prosecuted. That is all Federal process that a California county judge would have no jurisdiction to comment or rule on, it seems like the US Department of Transportation should move to have that matter removed to the Federal Court of jurisdiction.
Beyond that, ICE does not need seperate ICE checkpoints of their own to along highways to identify and arrest illegal alien truck drivers. All they have to do is station Federal ICE Law Enforcement Officers at the State weigh stations that are located all along the Interstate Highway System and major State Highways to do that.
