MOBILE, Ala. The ALEA state troopers in conjunction with ICE agents continue their crackdown along Alabama’s highways looking for undocumented and unlicensed commercial truck drivers.
As announced last year, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) has coordinated efforts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through ALEA’s Motor Carrier Safety Unit (MCSU).
ALEA troopers continue their mission and in recent weeks here along the Gulf Coast, jail records indicate that there have been at least a dozen arrests of illegal migrants in Mobile and Baldwin County, specifically truck drivers that have no legal status, no driver’s license and are operating motor vehicles illegally.
“Alabama is leading the way when it comes to going after illegal bad actors in trucking. I’m proud of ALEA for taking decisive action and grateful for our strong partnership with ICE. Alabama will not look the other way while illegal immigration and illegal operators threaten the safety of our communities or undermine the integrity of our trucking industry,” said Governor Ivey. “If you are here illegally and breaking our laws or putting folks at risk on our highways, you will be held accountable in our state.”
Similar operations continue across the state but the total number of those arrested since the initiative began has not been released.
