Governor Stitt announced today that under Operation Guardian, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP), in partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), conducted a targeted enforcement action along Interstate 40 in western Oklahoma. The operation resulted in the apprehension of more than 125 illegal immigrants from multiple countries, including India, Uzbekistan, China, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Mauritania.
During the operation, OHP encountered numerous commercial truck drivers operating with licenses issued by sanctuary states, including one license listing “No Name Given.” These individuals posed a public safety risk by operating 80,000-pound commercial vehicles without proper verification.
Acquired CDL
“If New York wants to hand out CDLs to illegal immigrants with ‘No Name Given,’ that’s on them. The moment they cross into Oklahoma, they answer to our laws,” said Governor Stitt. “I want to thank our troopers and ICE officials for their hard work. This is about keeping Oklahomans safe."
