The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is targeting truck drivers at travel stops and inspection checkpoints across the country. Recent arrests in New Jersey and New Hampshire highlight the agency's efforts to identify and remove unlawfully present individuals. One Uzbek national, Zokhid Zakhidov, was arrested in Woodbridge, New Jersey, after a New York commercial learner's permit was found in his possession and a May 15 drunk driving conviction was listed on his record.
Another Uzbek national, Khayrullo Payzullaev, was taken into custody in Hamilton, New Jersey, after a Pennsylvania non-domiciled commercial driver's license was identified. In New Hampshire, an Indian national, Satvir Singh, was arrested at a commercial-vehicle inspection station. Federal officials have announced plans targeting commercial drivers at weigh stations and inspection checkpoints, with a focus on regions such as Maine, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
