福克斯新闻独家报道： 本月早些时候，亚利桑那州尤马分区开展的多机构行动逮捕了95名非法移民卡车司机，打击了美国南部边境的人口和毒品走私核心网络。
根据美国海关和边境保护局（CBP）的消息，这95名司机均持有州政府颁发的商业驾照，其中76人来自加利福尼亚州，6人来自纽约州，其余人员来自其他少数几个州。
此次逮捕行动再次证明，尽管近几个月来入境移民人数大幅下降，边境地区的毒品和人口走私活动依然猖獗。

“我们致力于保护美国公民免受各类跨国威胁，无论是无执照、未受训的司机，还是从事人口或毒品走私的跨国犯罪组织，”代理边境巡逻主管达斯汀·考德尔在给福克斯新闻数字频道的声明中说道。
自2024年底以来，边境过境人数大幅下降，从2024年12月的逾14.4万人次入境遭遇降至7月的仅3.3万人次。
即便如此，美国海关和边境保护局仍报告了多起备受关注的走私企图，包括试图将武器、毒品和人口偷运入境。
今年早些时候，海关和边境保护局发布报告称，他们成功阻止了一辆携带火箭筒的车辆越境，查获了数十名挤在半挂卡车内的移民，甚至在黑鹰直升机的协助下，在多米尼加共和国近海扣押了一艘偷渡船只。

卡车运输一直是走私者将武器和人口偷运入境的主要渠道之一。
据海关和边境保护局透露，本月10日至14日开展的此次突袭行动还挫败了两起人口走私事件，逮捕了4名走私者和17名被偷运的外籍人员。此外，特工人员还查获了74磅甲基苯丙胺和169磅大麻。当局总共逮捕了来自18个国家的143名嫌疑人。
为防止类似走私阴谋发生，美国交通部正在敲定一项新规，以阻止不合格司机获取商业驾照。
新规一旦实施，将仅限持有H-2A、H-2B和E-2类非移民签证的人员申请商业驾照——这类签证的背景审查要求更为严格。
新规还将禁止使用就业授权文件（EAD）作为资质证明依据，理由是这类文件的审批流程存在报告和审查漏洞。

“今后，不合格的外籍司机将无法获得驾驶8万磅重的大型卡车的驾照，”美国交通部长肖恩·达菲在有关该新规的新闻稿中说道。

“在特朗普总统的领导下，我们将道路公众的安全放在首位，”达菲补充道。“从执行英语语言标准，到追究欺诈性运输公司的责任，我们将继续直面道路上的这场危机。”

Dozens of illegal alien truck drivers busted with licenses from deep blue states

President Trump launches ‘Freedom Haulers’ program
President Donald Trump says illegal immigrant truck drivers are unqualified and can be replaced by veterans.

FIRST ON FOX: A multi-agency operation in Arizona’s Yuma Sector led to the arrest of 95 illegal alien truck drivers earlier this month, striking at the heart of human and drug smuggling operations at the U.S. southern border.
All 95 drivers had acquired state-issued commercial driver’s licenses; 76 from California, six from New York and the rest from a handful of other states, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The apprehensions continue to demonstrate the high volume of narcotics and human trafficking smuggling operations that are alive and well at the border — even as immigration numbers have plummeted in recent months.

“We are committed to protecting our citizens from all international threats, whether that is from unlicensed or untrained drivers, or transnational criminal organizations engaged in human or drug trafficking,” Acting Chief Patrol Agent Dustin Caudle said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Since the end of 2024, border crossings have plummeted, going from over 144,000 encounters in December 2024 to just 33,000 in July.
Even so, CBP has reported several high-profile smuggling attempts that have sought to bring weapons, narcotics and humans across the U.S. border.
Earlier this year, CBP released reports on how it had prevented a car carrying a rocket-propelled grenade launcher from crossing the border, detected dozens of immigrants crammed into a semi-truck and even detained a boat off the coast of the Dominican Republic with the help of a Black Hawk helicopter.

Trucking, in particular, has been a key way in which smugglers have sought to bring weapons and humans into the country.
According to CBP, the bust earlier this month, which took place between Aug. 10 and 14, also stopped two human-smuggling events, resulting in the arrest of four smugglers and 17 smuggled aliens. Additionally, agents seized 74 pounds of methamphetamine and 169 pounds of marijuana. In total, authorities arrested 143 suspects from 18 countries.
To prevent schemes like these, the Department of Transportation (DOT) is finalizing a rule to prevent unqualified drivers from obtaining CDLs.
If implemented, the rule would limit CDLs to H-2A, H-2B, and E-2 nonimmigrant status holders — types of visas with more stringent vetting requirements.
The rule would also prevent an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) as a way to prove eligibility, citing lax reporting and scrutiny on their approvals.

“Moving forward, unqualified foreign drivers will be unable to get a license to operate an 80,000-pound big rig,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a press release about the rule.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are putting the safety of the driving public first,” Duffy continued. “From enforcing English language standards to holding fraudulent carriers accountable, we will continue to attack this crisis on our roads head-on.”
