Key points
  • Police say the other driver was Guillermo Carmona-Lopez, who is a Mexican national who DHS says had already been removed from the United States twice.
  • DOJ ESCALATES BLUE-STATE ICE STANDOFF AFTER STATES REFUSE KEY FEDERAL REQUEST So limiting the task force to just CDL enforcement is a mistake.
  • DEADLY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCK CRASH EXPOSED FAILURES ON THE ROAD AND AT THE BORDER: KEY SENATOR How widespread is the problem?

TRUMP PROMOTES FREEDOM HAULERS INITIATIVE TO FAST-TRACK MILITARY VETERANS INTO TRUCKING JOBS But that’s more than blue states are willing to do.

The Democrats have captured both houses of Congress and are gleefully announcing, "woke is back." But there’s one inconvenient detail: President Donald Trump still controls the executive branch.

Additional details
  • Asrarov, who held an Ohio CDL, reportedly couldn’t communicate with police without Google Translate, failed an English-proficiency test and allegedly attempted to conceal evidence, including his electronic driving logs.
  • ILLEGAL ALIEN'S ‘INEXCUSABLE’ CRIME SPARKS INTERSTATE CLASH BETWEEN GOP SEN, DEM GOV: ‘YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED’ The story circulated widely on social media, but received limited mainstream coverage.
  • The task force started with more than 1,000 leads and inspected more than 200 driving schools across 23 states.
  • Ryan was not a member of any of our media’s preferred victim classes, he wanted to go into law enforcement, and he was allegedly killed by someone who the feds say shouldn’t have been here.
  • So in September 2025, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced emergency restrictions on CDLs issued to foreign drivers after a nationwide audit uncovered widespread fraud.
