Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued a detainer for a truck driver who was arrested after allegedly making a bomb threat while pulled over on I-85 in South Carolina this week, indicating he may be in the country illegally.
The busy interstate was shut down for hours on Thursday afternoon after South Carolina State Transport Police pulled over an 18-wheeler with a missing license plate in Greenville County.
During the stop, the driver reportedly claimed there was an explosive device hidden somewhere in the big rig.
“I-85 near mile marker 44 is temporarily closed out of an abundance of caution due to a bomb threat issued during a routine traffic stop this afternoon by SC Transport Police,” Gov. Henry McMaster’s office explained in a statement posted to social media at the time.
Following a SWAT raid and sweep by a bomb squad, it was determined the driver had been lying.
The suspect was taken into custody and identified as Ahmad Jamal Khamees Alhendi, a 28-year-old resident of Oak Lawn, Illinois.
He now faces multiple charges, including breach of peace of a high or aggravated nature, bomb threat, and operating an unregistered vehicle.
Additionally, ICE has lodged a detainer against Khamees Alhendi, indicating he is a non-citizen of undisclosed origin and immigration status.
“Arrest warrant for pendency of ongoing removal proceedings,” a note in his booking information reads.
“Officials mentioned that the tractor-trailer was registered to Globe Transportation out of Illinois. The company said they do not have a statement at this time, however, they did say that Alhendi was cleared to drive and that the truck was registered,” Fox Carolina reports.
Khamees Alhendi’s bond was set at $20,238 cash during a hearing on Friday.
InfoWars will monitor developments in this story.
The federal government needs to impose absolutely ruinous fines are employers and landlords who do business with illegals. No way should any of these people have a job or housing. US citizens who provide jobs or housing to illegals should be driven into bankruptcy. Someone ought to suddenly become a guy who “used to own trucking company”.
If only trucking was run by types like Sonny Pruitt now.
Even BJ McKay would be an improvement.
Updated Jerry Reed song East Bound and Down.
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
We gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I’m east bound, just watch ol’ Ahmad run
Keep your foot hard on the pedal, son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out ‘cause we’ve got a bomb run to make
The Arab boys are impatient in Atlanta, and there’s illegals in Texarkana
And we’ll bring bring explosives there no matter what it takes
Old ICE has got them ears on, FBI’s hot on your trail
And they ain’t gonna rest ‘til you’re in jail
So, you gotta dodge ‘em, you gotta duck ‘em
You gotta’ keep that diesel truckin’
Put that hammer down and give it hell.
I’m east bound, just watch ol’ Ahmad run
I am east bound, just watch ol’ Ahmad run
I’m east bound and down, it’s okay.
Khamees Alhendi’s bond was set at $20,238 cash
The guy was bonded?!
Terrorist act, non-citizen on ice detainer and he is allowed bond. What is wrong with our judiciary?
P
They hate us and want us dead.
The FBI would get involved but they’re overloaded with school board meetings.
He’s just angling for a free plane ride home.
Interesting that the man who predicted both the Trump assassination attempt as well as the New Orleans attack predicted a series of truck attacks in 10 major U.S. cities:

“Trucker Arrested in South Carolina Highway Bomb Threat Is Non-Citizen Under Deportation Proceedings”
Another Biden/Harris success story.
Ah, one of those old Dutch names like you come across in a Washington Irving story about New Amsterdam.
Our judiciary is making it look like they’re doing something positive for the American citizens. They all agree with this dude and are just really sad that he couldn’t drive his rig into a crowd of people somewhere. Mark my words…
Deport all muslims.
I realize that if they have citizenship, that could be problematic, but if they don’t.
OUT!
Allow crime to run amok = chaos = political win for Democrats. Doesn’t matter what the laws on the books are if Soros DAs run the show.
They let out criminals to commit crimes in our major cities and what happens?
Taxpayers/ those who can afford it exit the big cities and it turns New York into Chicago, Detroit, Philly, etc.
Then with 90%+ Democrat control of one major city... they can control the entire state. See, for example, Atlanta.
Then with control of the state ... they control the country.
Criminals are the “Brown Shirt” shock troops of the Democrat party - beating, robbing, and raping their way to make those that may think of voting Republican to get the hell out of the big cities thus giving Democrats total control.
Control and power. As the Obama official told a girl school graduation class - she carries Mao’s Little Red Book with her for reference and it says “All power comes from the end of a gun.”
Now you now. It’s not accidental or due to stupidity or naive libs.
it’s BY DESIGN.
Here is something everyone needs to remember.
When ICE issues a detainer it means they have probable cause that the alien is in violation of immigration law and subject to removal. If the perp bonds out of state or local custody ICE must take the alien into custody and start removal proceedings. Ice has no authority (much less funding) to detain the alien until their criminal court case is resolved.
This can result in a 'get out of jail free card' for the alien who will gladly agree to removal rather than face criminal prosecution. When the alien does not show up for their court proceeding they can show that ICE removed them and the case is dropped. Thereafter they just reenter the country illegally again.
The entire immigration system is full of catch 22s like this. Its one big mess and it is be design.
No alien in state or local custody with an ICE detainer should be eligible for bail or bond. They are not only 'likely to abscond' its guaranteed because ICE has no choice but to seek removal of the alien form the jurisdiction of the court.
You have written: Criminals are the “Brown Shirt” shock troops of the Democrat party.
No truer words have been written.
Here on an H1B likely.
Another Chicago company with illegal drivers ?
Say it isn’t so.
