On this edition of Your Call\u2019s Media Roundtable, we’re discussing the attempted cancellation of more than 20,000 California commercial drivers licenses<\/a>, which has devastated California\u2019s Sikh community, who make up approximately 35 percent of the state\u2019s commercial drivers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, an Alameda County Superior Court judge ruled that over 20,000 immigrant truck drivers will be able to keep their licenses in California until March 6. Though this is a temporary victory for immigrant drivers, the Trump administration is prepared to retaliate by withholding $160 million<\/a> in transportation funding from California and rescinding the state\u2019s ability to grant commercial licenses altogether.<\/p>\n

How is the Sikh community responding? What does the future hold for immigrant truck drivers?<\/p>\n
