The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the arrests of 91 illegal aliens driving semi-trucks on fraudulent licenses in Oklahoma as the feds continue a crackdown on migrants driving commercial trucks.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol made the arrests during a three-day operation along Oklahoma’s I-40. Along with the 91 illegal drivers, ICE took an additional 29 illegal aliens into custody during the operation, DHS said in an October 6 press release.
The criminal activity committed by those taken into custody includes driving on multiple DUIs, illegal re-entry into the U.S., money laundering, human smuggling, assault, conspiracy to distribute cocaine, and possession of a controlled substance.
“ICE’s 287(g) program clearly demonstrates how federal and local law enforcement agencies can work together to make America safe again,” said ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan. “Illegal aliens have no business operating 18 wheelers on America’s highways. Our roads are now safer with these illegal aliens no longer behind the wheel. {snip}”
The crackdown on illegal aliens working as commercial truck drivers on fraudulently issued state drivers licenses comes after another migrant semi-truck driver killed three Americans in Florida while trying to make an illegal u-turn on a highway. Police arrested Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien from India who entered the U.S. in 2018 across the U.S. border with Mexico, and charged him in the deaths.
Singh reportedly had state-issued Commercial Drivers Licenses (CDLs) from both California and Washington State despite being ineligible because he is an illegal alien.
As more migrants hit our roads — many of whom cannot read or speak English — the death toll on our highways has skyrocketed.
The Trump administration has taken notice of this horrible statistic, and recently, Trump’s transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, directed federal highway safety offices to enforce a law requiring foreign drivers to be able to read English.
The new policy move came after thousands of American truckers launched a pressure campaign to force the feds to root out these illegal migrant truckers.
