The U.S. Supreme Court rejects a lawsuit filed by Florida officials challenging how other states handle commercial driver’s licenses for some immigrants. Florida had asked the justices to allow the state to sue California and Washington, alleging that those states issued commercial driver’s licenses to people who entered the country without legal authorization. Multiple outlets report that the challenge is linked to a fatal crash in Florida last year that killed three people and involved an immigrant accused of driving a commercial vehicle. According to the accounts, Florida’s complaint asserted that the licenses were issued improperly and included allegations about the licensing process, including concerns raised about language and eligibility requirements. The Supreme Court does not take the case, effectively declining to permit Florida’s attempt to bring the dispute directly against the other states. The rulings cited by the outlets reflect the court’s decision to turn away the lawsuit rather than address its merits.
