Brief text

The Supreme Court threw out a long-shot lawsuit in which Florida sought to sue the states of California and Washington for allegedly allowing people who entered the country illegally to obtain commercial truck driver licenses.

  1. Frame 1Washington: the Supreme Court rejected Florida's bid to sue California and Washington over commercial driver licenses.
  2. Frame 2Florida tied the case to a 2025 crash involving Harjinder Singh, where three people died.
  3. Frame 3The state said Singh lacked legal status but held California and Washington commercial licenses.
  4. Frame 4Florida asked justices to bar CDLs for people outside citizenship or permanent-resident status.
  5. Frame 5Thomas and Alito dissented; the order leaves licensing rules and crash politics unresolved.
