1,985 licenses were revoked from undocumented immigrants, and an innocent woman stands in the middle of it.

Melissa Moorman used to work at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), where she was required to share her work account information with colleagues. Then, when two colleagues decided to take bribes under the counter, they chose to use her account. Now, all of them are fired, and an innocent woman is unemployed due to the actions of others.

What to know

1,985 fraudulent credentials were revoked after being discovered during an annual review by the Kentucky State Police (KSP). The credentials were revoked, meaning they will no longer work in any place where they are typically scanned, such as airport check-in gates and hotels.

Moorman worked at KYTC, providing licenses to citizens with approved credentials, but her colleagues did not do the same.

Moorman filed a lawsuit in April alleging that she was required to share her login information with other employees while working at KYTC, where she had been employed for over two years. Two of the employees who used her login are accused of taking bribes to make driver’s licenses, without doing any screening for immigration status, taking about $200 per license. They would do this four or five times a day, and it continued the entire time Moorman was employed there, without anyone knowing.

Moorman was fired after reporting the two employees’ behavior and meeting with federal investigators in January 2025.

KYTC claims Moorman was employed with another company, Quantam Solutions, a Michigan-based company that staffs the office, and therefore denies the majority of the allegations highlighted in the lawsuit.

Quantam Solutions, in court filings, denied the allegations and called for the complaint to be dismissed, while the two employees named in the lawsuit do not appear to have been criminally charged.

Moorman’s lawyers refused to comment.
