The CPB one is no longer valid. Plus that does not allow you to qualify for a CDL license legally through the federal gov't. 

The CBP app is no longer being used, that doesn't mean that anyone who entered using it is suddenly classified as being here illegally. 

Also, whatever Trump tried putting in place through an EO was blocked by the courts and is not in effect.

He was issued a CDL because it was legal to do so and because he passed the required testing.  This narrative you seem to want to push that they're just handing out CDL's to anyone who wants one is just dumb.

I hold a class B and have been A certified in the past. My GVW of my toy hauler requires it. I know all about testing it requires. 
 

Pennsylvania has a know fraud issue with CDL’s.

FMCSA’s concerns surfaced during Pennsylvania’s 2025 Annual Program Review, an in-depth evaluation the Agency conducts to ensure each state’s CDL program meets the requirements of federal law. Pennsylvania reported that it currently has more than 12,400 active non-domiciled CLPs and CDLs, a sizeable population for a state whose licensing system plays a major role in serving non-permanent residents.

 

 

 

As FMCSA dug into PennDOT’s records, it began to notice problems —small, repeated errors that, when aggregated, point to deeper gaps in policy, documentation, and technological controls.

 

 

 

The Agency sampled 150 individual non-domiciled CDL transactions and found eight that failed to comply with federal rules. Taken alone, eight might appear statistically insignificant, but with FMCSA's enhanced focus on these issues, this is probelmatic for Pennsylvania. If states overlook something as simple as an expiration date or miscode a lawful permanent resident as a non-domiciled applicant, the entire underlying eligibility system becomes unreliable.

The rule violations they found had nothing to do with giving licenses to people not qualified to be on the road in a big rig.  Straight from the report...........

But RW violence…

 

According to the criminal complaint reviewed by CBS, Demarco told investigators he believed President Donald Trump’s reelection would lead to what he described as a “fascist takeover.” Authorities say he was motivated by his opposition to Project 2025, which outlines proposals to expand executive authority in a Republican administration.

CBS News also reported that Demarco expressed admiration for Luigi Mangione, who has been charged in the killing of former UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson, citing him in online messages.

Notable that this ran in the Murdoch Post. On the one hand, you could argue that it's very unusual for them to run a story that makes MAGA and red hats look as bad as this. On the other hand, it could be argued that running this story on a website beloved by red hats is that it's giving them all but explicit permission to murder people who don't like Trump, even family members who know how to get all dolled up, because, as you can see, they're going to get away with it as long as they do it in the right place.

If a drunk MAGA offers to show you their pistol, they probably are trying to get away with murdering you and will blame it on a mis-fire.

That's how it usually happens, all right.
