🚨 Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Shakes Nation with Announcement…See more

ustice Clarence Thomas sharply criticized the Supreme Court on Monday for refusing to hear Florida’s lawsuit against California and Washington over commercial driver’s licenses issued to undocumented immigrants.

The dispute gained national attention after a deadly 2025 crash on the Florida Turnpike involving an undocumented truck driver reportedly licensed through California or Washington. According to the lawsuit, the driver allegedly made an illegal U-turn and was unable to properly interpret roadway signage, resulting in a collision that killed three people.

Joined by Justice Samuel Alito, Thomas argued the high court had a constitutional obligation to hear the interstate dispute because Florida had no other legal forum available to challenge another state’s policies
