SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on social media Thursday that the U.S. would pause the issuing of worker visas for commercial truck drivers. The announcement came as a surprise to many in the local trucking industry at the Port of Oakland, where a large portion of drivers are immigrants. "This yard that we're in, 32 different languages are spoken here," said Bill Aboudi of AB Trucking.
The Trump administration is reviewing the records of more than 55 million US visa holders for potential revocation or deportable violations of immigration rules, in a significant expansion of Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. The state department said that all of the foreigners who now hold valid US visas are subject to continuous vetting for any indication that they could be ineligible for the document, including those already admitted into the country.
