Indiana authorities recently stopped nearly 300 undocumented immigrants with commercial driver’s licenses at state weigh stations over the past three months.
Tony Ferraro, a top aide to Governor Braun, reported 283 drivers flagged during this period, with many holding licenses from states like California and New York, where U.S. citizenship isn’t required for licensing.
While federal rules mandate CDL holders to be authorized to work in the U.S., enforcement is complicated by valid out-of-state licenses.
Governor Mike Braun emphasized traffic safety and crackdowns on illegal immigrant drivers operating commercial vehicles.
