Some illegal immigrants were allegedly given driver’s licenses in Louisville, Kentucky, by paying $200 under the table, according to an ex-clerk who worked for a government contractor at a licensing facility, and it’s prompting backlash from a top former Republican official in the state.
“The employees were being paid under the table,” Melissa Moorman told WDRB, adding that it would happen multiple times a day for a minimum of two years.
A whistleblower lawsuit from Moorman alleges that she was fired after reporting the situation to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

“I immediately let my supervisor know,” Moorman told the outlet. The workers she reported were also fired at the end of last year, according to the news outlet.
She alleged that the coworkers used her login without permission to give the licenses out without the proper Homeland Security check first, and that fake documents were used for illegal immigrants to avoid taking driving tests, WDRB reported.

Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said he was “appalled” to learn about the allegations.
