ICYMI: RSC Holds Roundtable on Closing Deadly CDL Loophole

March 20, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In Case You Missed It: The Republican Study Committee (RSC) held a member roundtable featuring Dalilah and Marcus Coleman to speak out on the dangerous federal loophole that allows illegal aliens to obtain commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs).

Dalilah Coleman was tragically struck by an illegal alien driving an eighteen-wheel tractor-trailer when she was only five-years-old. The accident left her with a traumatic brain injury, skull fractures, a broken femur, and weeks in a coma.

House Republicans are committed to closing the loophole that allows illegal aliens to be behind the wheel of 80,000-pound trucks and increasing American roadway safety.

Dalilah’s Law passed out of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, where it now heads for a full vote by the U.S. House of Representatives.

Members in attendance at the roundtable included: Reps. David Rouzer (NC-07), Erin Houchin (IN-09), Vince Fong (CA-20), Jay Obernolte (CA-23), Mike Collins (GA-10), Tim Burchett (TN-02), and Dave Taylor (OH-02).
