America’s Trump administration has once again taken major action against illegal immigrants, but this time action has been taken against a large number of Indians. About 30 persons from India living illegally in America and working as commercial truck drivers have been arrested under a federal operation.

Indian citizens will be deported
After this campaign of federal operation, all the Indian citizens arrested will soon be deported from America. US Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) said in a statement issued on Monday (June 1) that during the week of May 11-15, Border Patrol agents from the Yuma Sector of Arizona under ‘Operation Checkmate’ arrested 52 individuals living in the US illegally, 36 of whom were found to be semi-truck drivers.

According to the report of news agency PTI, out of the 36 illegal semi-truck drivers arrested, 30 were from India, while the remaining 6 were from Mexico, El Salvador and Russia. They held commercial driver’s licenses from states such as California, New York, Washington and Virginia, while some did not have any type of driver’s license.

Employment authorization documents were found during Biden government
According to the report, most of the illegal immigrants had employment authorization documents, which they had obtained during the previous Joe Biden government and were no longer valid. Action was taken against all the arrested persons as per US federal law and they will now be deported back to their country.

The US agency said that the purpose of Operation Checkmate is to increase public safety by enforcing immigration laws to detect and arrest individuals operating commercial motor vehicles who are living illegally in the US. Acting Chief Patrol Agent Dustin Caudle of the U.S. Border Patrol’s Yuma Sector said Operation Checkmate reflects our commitment to protecting communities and roadways from illegal drivers who pose a serious threat to public safety.
