Florida officials said Monday they will convert the state’s trucking weigh stations into immigration checkpoints and step up on-road inspections to enforce a federal requirement that commercial drivers be proficient in English. The initiative, announced jointly by the Attorney General’s office and Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, seeks to identify and detain motorists who lack legal immigration status or who cannot communicate effectively in English while operating commercial vehicles. Simpson told reporters that drivers found in violation will be turned over to local or federal authorities and may face arrest. Deputies stationed at highway intersections and weigh stations will also conduct routine traffic checks, with seat-belt enforcement folded into the broader operation. State officials said the move complies with an executive order signed by President Donald Trump, which directs states to remove from service commercial drivers who fail federal English-language standards. They did not provide an implementation timeline or estimate the number of drivers likely to be affected, but warned that enforcement would begin immediately at all points of entry into Florida’s highway system.
