Case Summary

[This summary is temporary while we research this case.]

On October 20, 2025, DACA recipient Jorge Rivera Lujan, asylum seeker Aleksei Semenovskii, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Public Citizen filed suit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. This law suit was filed in response to an interim final rule issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) on September 29, 2025. FMCSA's rule bars asylum seekers, refugees, and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients with work authorization from holding non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses. Approximately 200,000 people will no longer be able to hold these licenses—and therefore be out of work—as a result of this rule.

This case is ongoing.
