(The Center Square) – The state of Ohio is downgrading the commercial driver’s license of 1,200 foreign-born truck drivers for failing to meet new federal requirements on documenting proof that they are in the United States legally.

The drivers will be downgraded to a Class D license, which can’t be used to legally drive a commercial vehicle in the U.S., Ohio Department of Public Safety spokesman Bret Crow told The Center Square.
