Federal crackdown shutters Wisconsin CDL schools amid fraud allegations

TL;DR Summary
The Trump administration ordered 110 truck-driver training providers to cease operations, including three Wisconsin schools, after alleging they certified immigrants for CDLs who later failed English-based roadside tests. The action is part of a broader safety-driven crackdown with investigations and emergency removals from the training registry; ICE subpoenas were issued to at least one operator, and some schools claim they were unaware of the shutdown as inspectors review testing providers and English-language requirements for licensing.
