Immigrant advocates sue California over DMV cancellations of commercial driver’s licenses

Advocacy groups have filed a class action lawsuit to challenge the California Department of Motor Vehicles’ decision to cancel commercial driver’s licenses held by around 20,000 immigrants in the state.

The Sikh Coalition, a national group that advocates for the Sikh community, the civil rights organization Asian Law Caucus, and the law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP filed the suit on behalf of the Sikh cultural organization Jakara Movement and five anonymous commercial drivers.
