Texas busts 31 illegal immigrant truckers in one-day operation, most held California CDLs

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that state and federal authorities apprehended 31 illegal immigrant commercial truck drivers during a one-day enforcement sweep along Interstate 40, escalating concerns about unvetted and improperly licensed commercial drivers operating nationwide.

The joint “commercial vehicle enforcement” operation took place on November 11 in Wheeler County and involved the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

During 105 commercial vehicle inspections, DPS troopers were unable to verify the lawful presence of 31 truck drivers, even though each presented a state-issued commercial driver’s license. All 31 were referred to ICE, which later confirmed that every one of them was in the United States illegally. According to DPS, most of the CDLs were issued in California, a state that allows driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants and has faced repeated scrutiny over its commercial licensing practices. None of the licenses came from Texas.

Governor Greg Abbott blasted California’s policies in his statement announcing the operation.

Maybe we should all start calling our representatives, State Highway Patrol Office, and Dept of Public Safety and ask how many dangerous illegal alien truckers are on OUR state's roads.

B-b-b-but Governor Gavin Newsome SAID that he revoked the licenses of 17,000 illegal alien truck drivers. Who are you going to believe?

RE: issued in California.

Correct to: issued in California the outlaw state that endangers every other state’s residents.

No offense to FReepers in CA but we grit our teeth and tolerate California but it is trying our patience.

The usually silly ideas do not include having truck drivers killing men women and children in our states.

No defensive driving can get us out of the way of some of these who should never have been given a license.

The Texas Attorney Genral should charge the officials of the California Department of Motor Vehicles with violating Article I, Section 22, of the Texas State Constitution for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the State of Texas.

the california CDLs were likely part of the 17,000 that california revoked, which means these drivers were driving 18-wheelers with no license at all ...

the companies that they work for should lose all of their insurance and then be sued out of existence ... probably those companies are owned and operated by OTHER illegal aliens, so when they fail to show up for court is a good time to grab and deport them ...

[catnipman]

just means they’re still driving with no CDL at all ...

[central_va]

When are the trucking companies that hire these dangerous illegal drivers be held accountable?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Of course they did, everyone knows that LA County has the largest illegal alien population, commies way before NewSCUM made sure of that so Commiefornia would always be a blue state

I voted for this without even knowing I voted for this!!!

[alternatives?]

The data says they are discriminating against Californians.

200 plus trucks an hour pass the weigh stations along I80 running thru Nebraska. We need to start stoping every truck.

Gotta say Sean Duffy, Secretary of Transportation, is on a glorious mission. May the good Lord bless him!

I had no idea of all this CDL bs. Have an idea now. Way more assured clear distances from trucks happening for me.

This is all totally disgusting!

Just for effect:

"...every one of them was in the United States illegally"

Now do I-45 from Houston to Big D along with the highways feeding E/NE. Also explains part of the reaming we’ve been receiving by the insurance companies.
