The Indian national, who entered the United States illegally in 2023, was stopped on I-40 with a commercial driver’s license that listed no full legal name.

Federal officials have announced the arrest of an illegal immigrant identified as Anmol Anmol, who was allegedly operating an 18-wheeler while holding a New York commercial driver’s license issued under the designation “No Name Given Anmol.”

Anmol, an Indian national who entered the United States illegally in 2023, was arrested during a routine inspection at a truck scale on the I-40 in late September, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Oct. 10. His arrest comes amid heightened federal efforts to remove illegal immigrants operating heavy commercial vehicles—a public safety risk DHS officials say urgently needs to be addressed.

 

“Allowing illegal aliens to obtain commercial driver’s licenses to operate 18-wheelers and transport hazardous materials on America’s roads is reckless and incredibly dangerous,” Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary for public affairs, said in a statement.

“New York is not only failing to check if applicants applying to drive 18-wheelers are U.S. citizens but even failing to obtain the full legal names of individuals they are issuing commercial drivers’ licenses to. DHS is working with our state and local partners to get illegal alien truck drivers who often don’t know basic traffic laws off our highways.”

The case of Anmol Anmol was part of a broader three-day enforcement sweep along I-40 conducted in Oklahoma between Sept. 22 and Sept. 25, during which 120 illegal immigrants were arrested, including 91 found driving commercial trucks with commercial driver’s licenses. The operation uncovered prior convictions among detainees ranging from DUI and human smuggling to drug trafficking and illegal reentry.

 

“Illegal aliens have no business operating 18 wheelers on America’s highways,“ ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan said in a statement. ”Our roads are now safer with these illegal aliens no longer behind the wheel.”
