36. Depends on what the response is by California and Washington.

No, a state governor is not personally responsible for all the actions of state employees. Both Gov. Newsom and Ferguson are however responsible for what happens now as a result and taking actions to prevent it from happening again.

Have those who issued the CDL been suspended pending investigation? Was it rogue employee(s) or were they following state policy directives?

What about all the other active CDL issued to undocumented immigrants? Have they been revoked and their employers notified ?
