US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (Feb 24) called on Congress to pass the Dalilah Law that will prevent illegal immigrants from getting a commercial driver’s license in the United States. During his speech at his address at the State of the Union of his second term to a joint session of Congress in the House Chamber of the United States Capitol, Trump highlighted the case of Dalilah Coleman, a five-year-old, who was critically injured in June 2024 when an 18-wheel tractor-trailer ploughed into her.
Trump said that he is going to take care of the problem of illegal aliens, saying, “We will take care of this problem. We’re gonna take care of this problem. We are not playing games.”
Trump claimed that the driver, an illegal alien, was let in by former president Joe Biden and was granted a commercial driver’s license by open borders politicians and California.
“Doctors said Dalilah would never be able to walk or talk, have a good life. She wouldn’t be able to eat again. But against all odds, she’s in the first grade learning to walk, and she’s here this evening with her dad, Marcus, a fantastic man. Dalilah, you are a great inspiration,” the US president said.
He continued, “Most illegal aliens do not speak English and cannot read even the most basic road signs as to direction, speed, danger or location. That’s why tonight I’m calling on Congress to pass what we will call the Dalilah law, barring any state from granting a commercial driver’s license to illegal aliens.”

What is Dalilah Law?
The proposed Dalilah Law would prevent any state from granting a commercial driver’s license to immigrants who are in the country illegally. The law is aimed at improving road safety and ensuring only legal residents are given a commercial driver’s license. Trump also said that this would reduce employment incentives for illegal immigrants in sectors like logistics and long-haul trucking.
The move comes as Trump continues his crackdown against illegal immigrants. He also cited several other crime incidents involving undocumented immigrants to push his policy against immigration.
