95 Illegal Immigrant Truck Drivers Arrested in August, Most with California Licenses: CBP
The broader sweep detained 143 people from 18 countries and seized methamphetamine, marijuana and a firearm, Customs and Border Protection said.
- In August, Border Patrol agents arrested 95 illegal immigrant truck drivers during a multi-agency operation in Arizona's Yuma Sector, noting that 76 held California CDLs.
- Fox News reported that the broader operation resulted in 143 arrests of suspects from 18 countries, while authorities seized 74 pounds of methamphetamine and 169 pounds of marijuana.
- This crackdown follows fatal accidents involving illegal immigrant truck drivers last year; Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy claimed background checks were not conducted under the Biden administration.
- To improve safety, the Department of Transportation is finalizing a rule limiting CDLs to H-2A, H-2B, and E-2 visa holders, while Duffy launched the Freedom Haulers program encouraging veteran hiring.
- "We are committed to protecting our citizens from all international threats," said Acting Chief Patrol Agent Dustin Caudle, as new policies prevent unqualified drivers from operating 80,000-pound rigs.
