ICE and Oklahoma bolster public safety on state’s highways by removing 34 illegal alien truck drivers
Two-day operation resulted in the arrest of 70 illegal aliens, including 26 who were issued CDLs by sanctuary states and 8 other aliens driving a commercial vehicle without any form of CDL at all
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma — ICE and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, a 287(g) partner, arrested 70 illegal aliens during a two-day special emphasis operation from Oct. 28 – 29, including 36 criminal aliens and 34 found violating state law by operating a semi-truck or commercial vehicle while in the U.S. illegally. Similar to other recent operations, “Operation Guardian” resulted in the arrest of many illegal aliens driving trucks that had been issued Commercial Drivers Licenses in states with sanctuary policies such as California, Illinois, and New York.
This effort led to the arrest of 70 illegal aliens, including 26 who had been issued a CDL and 8 other aliens who were dangerously driving a commercial motor vehicle without a commercial driver’s license at all.
“For the second time in just the past month, the state of Oklahoma and ICE have banded together to bolster public safety along Oklahoma’s highways, identifying and apprehending illegal aliens who are in the country illegally and have been recklessly issued a commercial driver’s license by states like California, Illinois, and New Jersey,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Executive Associate Director Marcos Charles. “Many of the illegal aliens arrested behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound tractor trailer can’t even read basic English, endangering everyone they encounter on the roads.”
