The arrest of the Indian national, who was found to be driving a commercial truck with a valid New York commercial driver’s license, was conducted at a checkpoint near Blythe, California. The Border Patrol agents discovered that the driver was in the U.S. illegally and proceeded with his arrest for alien inadmissibility under 8 USC 1182. He was set to be processed for deportation, as per the chief patrol agent at the Yuma Sector, who shared details of the incident on X. This incident is not isolated; it comes within the context of an ongoing court battle concerning the Department of Transportation’s proposed restrictions on the ability of illegal immigrants to obtain commercial driver’s licenses. These restrictions were put into place following a fatal crash involving an illegal immigrant truck driver in Florida, who was accused of causing an accident that resulted in three fatalities.
