Immigration and Customs Enforcement nabbed an illegal alien in Oklahoma who was carrying a New York commercial driver’s license with “NO NAME GIVEN.”

ICE, working with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, arrested the Indian national, Anmol Anmol, on Sept. 23, 2025, during a routine inspection at a truck scale.

Anmol entered the country illegally in 2023 and was released into the U.S. by the Biden administration.

"New York is not only failing to check if applicants applying to drive 18-wheelers are U.S. citizens but even failing to obtain the full legal names of individuals they are issuing commercial drivers’ licenses to,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a statement.

"Allowing illegal aliens to obtain commercial driver’s licenses to operate 18-wheelers and transport hazardous materials on America’s roads is reckless and incredibly dangerous to public safety,” she continued. “Thanks to the successful 287g partnership of ICE and Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Anmol Anmol is no longer posing a threat to drivers.

"DHS is working with our state and local partners to get illegal alien truck drivers who often don’t know basic traffic laws off our highways,” McLaughlin added.

She also pushed back on a statement from New York officials to Fox News Digital defending his status.

An official with the New York Department of Motor Vehicles, however, contested the license holder’s illegal status, telling Fox News Digital that the individual holding the license has lawful status in the U.S. through a federal employment authorization issued in March and "was issued a license consistent with federal guidelines."

"This commercial driver’s license was issued in accordance with all proper procedures, including verification of the individual’s identity through federally issued documentation," the official said, adding that "it is not uncommon for individuals from other countries to have only one name."

The official said that "procedures for that are clearly spelled out in the US Citizenship and Immigration Services policy manual," and added that "it is important to note that federal documents also include a ‘no name given’ notation."

In response, McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that "the Biden Administration gave this illegal alien work authorization in 2023" and that "work authorization does not give anyone lawful immigration status."

McLaughlin called it "insane that New York is issuing commercial drivers licenses to illegal aliens."

"The state of New York needs to stop trying to pass the buck and admit they need to have stricter standards for issuing commercial drivers licenses. They are putting the safety of all American drivers at risk," said McLaughlin.

I also find it disturbing that he was issued a real ID compliant license.

Doesn't California also give Drivers Licenses to anyone ?

I live in Oklahoma, they stopped a LOT of commercial vehicles where the driver had those No Name Given etc licenses. Oklahoma has a truckers weigh station on I-40 just inside the OK-TX border on I-40. Truckers have to stop when directed to do so.

Here is one story, there are many more.

Bad drivers licenses LINK
.

Right now, it is speculated that there are tens of thousands of these out there.

My wife was rear ended by a commercial vehicle . Lawn service box truck . Three Hispanic males with very limited English . When I looked over the accident report I saw that there were only names and DOB's for all three , No addresses and the report indicated that the driver was unlicensed. The owner of the company came out to the scene and provided the Insurance info for the vehicle . He is well insured .It's a damn good thing ...

I really thought after the tragedy of September the 11th that America would wake up. I was wrong.

How have we have dodged another major attack for so long?

I am glad they were able to verify the background and history of mr. Name Given since Anmol No had the gold star on his license.

Anyone catch the "Real-ID" star on the top of the DL?

Talk about infuriating... Isn't this the exact reason we all had/have to go thru this process?

Commies don't care, they want the votes.

At this point I think that DOT has to state that all CDL's issued in NY and CA (and any other state doing this) are not valid on Interstate highways and any driver found violating this will be arrested and the truck and cargo impounded pending resolution of the trial.

Then valid CDL's holders can come forward and re-verify themselves and their REAL ID documents including US citizenship.

We're being attacked one commercial vehicle at a time.

The last time I renewed my CDL with Hazmat I'm fingerprinted, background check, then they refused my birth certificate
that I've had since 1960, that I used to renew my license since they started the CDL program. He didn't like the looks of it.
Had to write to Marion County Indiana to get a new birth certificate, at my expense, got it two days before my license expired.
What a shitshow!
No name no speakada English, No problem. Drive anything you want. No consequenses

[QUOTE Three Hispanic males with very limited English ...[/QUOTE]

Knowing how to speak English is not a requirement...except for a pilot's license.

The tests at most, if not all state DMV's are in several languages. NJ had so many that I think if you requested , they would provide on in Klingon.

It is a federal requirement for having a CDL.

It would have made communicating with the investigating authority a lot easier ....

Yes it is. I believe it’s a Part 398 violation and is a moving violation. DOT can take them out of service for not speaking English.

The sleeping giant that was awakened then went back to sleep.

Then there is the story of Ole Olsen’s Chinese Laundry in San Francisco.

Run by an 80-year old emigre from Hong Kong, he was asked about the odd name.

“Well, he said, at the immigration desk the guy ahead of me was a logger from Norway.

When I got to the counter, the official asked “Name?”

“I replied ‘Sam Ting’ so he wrote down “Ole Olsen.”

Liberals/leftists/demonRATs are pigs. All the above, plus,

Crimigrant school supt.

The US Department of Transportation has taken action.

New rule closes dangerous loopholes, holds states accountable, and launches immediate enforcement action against California for gross negligence

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy today announced an emergency action to drastically restrict who is eligible for a non-domiciled commercial learner’s permits (CLPs) and commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs). The rule, effective immediately, comes in response to an ongoing nationwide audit by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and a recent series of horrific, fatal crashes caused by non-domiciled drivers.

The audit has uncovered both a catastrophic pattern of states issuing licenses illegally to foreign drivers, as well as the fact that even if the current regulatory framework is followed, it can fail. The confluence of these two factors has created an imminent hazard on America’s roadways that must be fixed.

Moving forward, non-citizens will not be eligible for a non-domiciled CDL unless they meet a much stricter set of rules, including an employment-based visa and undergoing a mandatory federal immigration status check using the SAVE system.
