A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the Department of Homeland Security from obtaining 17 million Commercial Driver’s License records.
US District Judge Anthony Trenga, a George W. Bush appointee, entered an administrative stay and prevented the Trump Administration from obtaining the records it subpoenaed.
Judge Trenga also ordered the DHS to immediately return any subpoenaed documents and not inspect the records.
The judge said he needs more time to consider the motion to quash the subpoenas.
On Friday, 21 Democrat state attorneys general and DC filed lawsuits challenging the records request.
The blue state attorneys general sued the Department of Transportation (DOT), the DHS and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Last month, President Trump unveiled his “Freedom Haulers” initiative to license veteran truck drivers and crack down on illegal alien truck drivers.
