95 Illegal Immigrant Truck Drivers Arrested in Arizona Sweep

Federal agencies arrested 95 illegal alien truck drivers earlier this month in Arizona in an operation targeting human and drug smuggling networks along the U.S. southern border, Fox News reports. Customs and Border Protection said all 95 drivers had obtained state-issued commercial driver's licenses despite their immigration status, including 76 from California and six from New York. The findings raise fresh questions about how sanctuary-style state policies on driver's licenses may be enabling illegal immigrants to operate commercial vehicles nationwide, potentially undermining federal immigration enforcement. CBP framed the arrests as part of a broader crackdown on smuggling operations exploiting the trucking industry. The case is likely to intensify debate over state licensing rules for undocumented immigrants and calls for tighter federal oversight of commercial driving credentials tied to border security concerns.
