US President Donald Trump proposed the 'Dalilah Law' during his 2026 State of the Union address, seeking to bar illegal immigrants from obtaining commercial driver's licenses. The legislation is named after Dalilah Coleman, a first-grade student severely injured in a 2024 multi-vehicle accident caused by Partap Singh, an undocumented immigrant from India holding a commercial license issued in California. Trump cited language barriers among undocumented drivers as a safety concern and urged Congress to pass the law to enhance road safety and restrict illegal employment in the trucking sector.
