Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released final details about the operation that netted 120 illegal aliens traveling through Oklahoma, almost 100 of whom had commercial driver licenses (CDL).
Oklahoma Highway Patrol carried out the operation with ICE. The joint operation caught illegals not only from far-flung parts of the globe but also those with multiple criminal convictions.
One of the illegals, famously, carried a New York CDL with his name entered as “No Name Given.”
The newly released data also show a number of states issued CDLs to illegals, the two biggest offenders being deep-blue New York and California.
The operation in Oklahoma along Interstate 40, which runs east-west through the state, was conducted under the auspices of the 287G Task Force Model, which essentially deputizes local law enforcement to help ICE round up illegals.
As for the arrests, Oklahoma troopers contacted about 520 motorists, and “ICE officers assisted OHP by running records checks on foreign-born nationals that OHP encountered during its normal patrol duties,” ICE reported.
Result: 120 illegals arrested; 91 of whom were behind the wheel of a “commercial motor vehicle.” Another 27 were apprehended in cars or other passenger vehicles, and two more were working at a pot farm.
ICE also reported the crimes the 120 illegals committed:
Of the 91 illegals operating a commercial vehicle with a CDL, 10 were visa overstays. Eighty entered the country illegally, received a humanitarian parole, or had pending asylum claims or immigration hearings. One had a final order of removal.
ICE also detailed the myriad nations from which 91 illegals hailed, No. 1 being India, with 39:
Of the 27 illegals arrested in cars or other passenger vehicles, 17 had jumped the border, nine of whom were previously deported. Six of those nine were deported twice or more. One was denied a visa and crossed the border illegally.
Of those, 10 were Guatemalans, 15 were Mexicans, three were Chinese, and one was Cuban; 23 of them entered the country between 2020 and 2024.
Those totals include the two arrested at the Giggle Weed farm.
Earlier, ICE had reported 125 arrests.
“Now multiply this by every highway in every state in America,” the Wall Street Apes X feed observed.
Eleven states provided the 91 illegals with CDLs, with California at 44 and New York at 14. Pennsylvania issued 12 and Illinois issued 11. New Jersey issued three and Florida issued two. Ohio, Utah, Nevada, Virginia, and Minnesota issued one each.
Only after an illegal from India was charged in the vehicular homicide of three Americans in Florida in August did the menace of illegal-alien truck drivers become apparent.
That individual, Harjinder Singh, failed a required English test. That led the federal Transportation Department to warn California, Washington, and New Mexico that truck drivers must be able to speak English, apropos of federal regulations. California and Washington gave Singh CDLs, while New Mexico cops failed to assess his English when they pulled him over.
But the Oklahoma operation revealed that states run by far-left governors and legislatures are putting illegals on the road without even knowing their names.
As The New American reported yesterday, ICE will soon deport Anmol Anmol, one of the 39 Indian illegals caught with a New York CDL in Oklahoma. His license bore the name “No Name Given,” which means the Empire State’s motor vehicles department doesn’t even know the identity of the people to whom it is issuing licenses to careen down the highway in an 18-wheel, 80,000-pound truck.
