US President Donald Trump called on Congress on Wednesday to swiftly pass a new bill named the 'Delilah Law,' as part of his campaign against illegal immigration. The law is based on a tragic incident involving seven-year-old American girl Delilah Coleman, who suffered severe injuries in a car accident caused by an illegal immigrant driving a heavy truck in June 2024 in California. The law prohibits states from issuing commercial driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, aiming to reduce similar accidents and protect citizens, as confirmed by Trump during his State of the Union address, in the presence of the girl and her father. The White House stated that the legislation aims to enhance road safety and prevent accidents caused by illegal drivers, emphasizing that Delilah's story was the main reason for launching this law.
