Illegal alien truck drivers accused of smuggling cocaine got driver’s licenses in sanctuary California
Story by Jason Hopkins • 14h
Two illegal migrant truck drivers accused of hauling millions in cocaine across the country had obtained their commercial driver’s licenses in California.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged detainer requests for 25-year-old Gurpreet Singh and 30-year-old Jasper Singh, both of whom are Indian nationals living unlawfully in the U.S., according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Indiana State Police arrested the two men after they were allegedly caught hiding over 300 pounds of cocaine inside a semi-truck in Putnam County on Saturday.
The Trump administration, which has increasingly sparred with California officials over the growing crisis of illegal migrants in the U.S. trucking industry, placed blame on Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom over the latest incident.
“Thanks to Gavin Newsom’s reckless policies, these two criminal illegal aliens were granted commercial licenses by the state of California and were arrested for trafficking a whopping 300 pounds of cocaine inside a semi-truck,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
