A proposed legislation titled by President Donald Trump as the Dalilah Law in his State of the Union address on February 24, 2026, was the declaration that no state is to issue commercial driver's licenses, or CDLs, to undocumented immigrants (also known as illegal aliens in his speech). According to Trump, such a measure is a necessary step to the safety of citizens, who argued that many, and possibly most, of the illegal aliens do not know English and cannot even read the simplest road signs.

The legislation is named after a young girl, Dalilah Coleman, who was seriously injured after being involved in a 2024 multi-vehicle crash due to the Indian-origin undocumented immigrant driving a tractor-trailer. In the speech, Trump emphasized her account, and Dalilah was there in the gallery, applauding whilst being waved in the arms of her father. He called her an inspiring fantasy and connected his incident to overall immigration issues in the old Biden administration.

This proposal is in line with the current crackdown on immigrant drivers by Trump, of which the latest regulation of refugees, asylum seekers, and DACA respondents not receiving CDLs is anticipated to impact thousands of immigrants in states such as California. These rules have been criticized by critics like the labor unions as being discriminatory and negatively affecting the legitimate workers and families.

Trump was focused on implementation and mentioned recent deadly crashes caused by illegal immigrants and advocated the requirement of English proficiency among truckers. The Dalilah Law, had it passed, would undergo a simple congressional majority and might meet any form of legal obstacle by the pro-immigrant organizations.

The announcement has not gone without controversy: it is being welcomed as a crucial measure of safety by the supporters and anti-immigrant rhetoric during the second term of Trump. With Congress deliberating on the bill, it highlights issues of tension between U.S. immigration and transportation policy.
