The Post Millennial ^ | 10/31/25 | Hannah Nightingale

Posted on 10/30/2025 10:25:42 PM PDT by CFW

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Thursday that 146 illegal immigrant drivers have been arrested by authorities, including drivers of semi trucks. Illegal immigrant semi truck drivers have made headlines in recent months after causing crashes that have resulted in deaths on the nation’s highways.

Noem said, "233 illegal aliens have been arrested and taken off our roads. Of those, 146 of them were drivers. That includes 46 semi-truck drivers and 82 of them that were either box trucks, buses, moving vans, vehicles such as that." The arrests came as part of a partnership with Indiana State Police. The operation took place in Northwest Indiana as part of the Chicago-area Operation Widway Blitz, DHS said in a press release. A total of 146 truck drivers were arrested, the DHS said.

What do these guys do? Steal trucks? They buy them from Mack truck dealers?

Why is there no mention of their employers?

For years, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) relentlessly
pushed the false narrative of a “catastrophic truck driver shortage”
<><>claiming 60,000 positions went unfilled,
<><>supply chains were teetering on collapse—
<><>the ATA effectively manipulated public policy
<><>so as to flood the trucking business with cheap, under-qualified “visa drivers” from India.

This fabricated ATA crisis wasn’t about solving real problems;
<><>it was a tool to lower standards,
<><>suppress wages,
<><>and prioritize big carriers over safety and sustainability.

Now in a stunning reversal at their 2025 Management Conference, the ATA did a blatant CYA——executing a hard pivot——— ditching the blanket shortage claim and re-framing it as a “shortage of quality drivers.”

Translation: The ATA is feeling the heat-——all those non compis mentis visa’ed Indian drivers killing people on the say-so of the ATA.

Note: Some 12,000 Sikhs own US trucking companies.

Pray for me. The city I live in in Northern Commiefornia, a little town of 50 or 60 thousand called Yuba City is hosting the largest gathering of Sikhs over the weekend. Not only are Sikhs terrible truck drivers, they are terrible drivers period. They act as if they are in the old country where the rules of the road do not to apply them, just the other guy.

My usual 10 minute commute to work will take me at least 30 minutes over the next 3 days. If I get there alive.

At this point, the Department of Transportation needs to take over all CDL issuance involved in interstate transport.

My wife watches the TV show The Amazing Race.

In the current season, one of the contestant pairs are two Sikh truck drivers.

On a recent episode, they were unable to figure out how to get a manual transmission car into reverse, and so were pushing it backwards when they needed to (!!!!).

“Feds arrest dozens of illegal aliens in sweeping New Jersey workplace raid”

https://www.foxnews.com/us/feds-arrest-dozens-illegal-aliens-sweeping-new-jersey-workplace-raid

Workers represented 22% of workforce at container freight station in Avenel

“Federal authorities said Thursday at least 46 undocumented workers were arrested during a sweeping Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operation at a freight warehouse in Avenel, New Jersey, Wednesday.

Law enforcement personnel carried out the inspection at a federally authorized container freight station as part of an ongoing campaign to ensure compliance with immigration regulations.

At the warehouse, agents discovered 46 undocumented laborers, roughly 22% of the onsite workforce, officials said.

All 46 suspected illegal aliens were escorted into federal custody.”

The mainstream media is (apparently) under strict orders to protect all entities/businesses that facilitate and enable crimigrants to live here. That would include hiding the identity of the employers.

I’m sorry, but 233 illegal truck drivers should drive themselves back to India...

Good. Theys are trying to prevent major big rig accidents like this:

3-A015-CCC-7305-4-D00-A1-DB-14-AA04-F03475

And reverse Biden-era policies that allowed these dangerous drivers on the roads:

-- Zero Hedge:

Biden Handed Out CDLs Like Candy... Now US Highways Are A Public Safety & National Security Nightmare

B5-BC659-C-8-CB0-4679-B2-E3-2-D2-C057-DC352-4-5005-c

662-B5-DAF-8471-49-DA-A2-A5-E251-AE5-D66-C7-4-5005-c

By removing these illegal drivers they are preventing accidents like these:

"Indian truck driver held in US after 3 killed in chain-reaction crash"

"Jashanpreet Singh Illegal Indian Immigrant Truck Driver, High On Drugs, Kills 3 In US Crash"
