An illegal alien from Uzbekistan, wanted for his involvement with a terror group, has been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Kansas while working as a commercial truck driver.
Akhror Bozorov, 31, is wanted in Uzbekistan for distributing propaganda and recruiting for a terrorist group, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said.
When apprehended by ICE, Bozorov was working in Kansas driving an 18-wheeler and had a non-domiciled commercial driver’s license issued by Pennsylvania.
According to DHS, Bozorov entered the U.S. illegally in February 2023, was arrested by Border Patrol and released, then granted work authorization in January 2024 under the Biden administration.
“Not only was Akhror Bozorov—a wanted terrorist—RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration, but he was also given a commercial driver’s license by Governor Shapiro’s Pennsylvania,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “This should go without saying, but terrorist illegal aliens should not be operating 18-wheelers on America’s highways.”
“Biden and Mayorkas allowed countless terrorists to come into our country. President Trump and Secretary Noem unleashed ICE to target these national security threats,” she added.
The Trump administration has cracked down on Democratic-run states issuing CDLs to illegals following an increase in fatal crashes. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, an audit found that California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington have CDL licensing “not consistent with federal regulations.”
“This is exactly why we can’t have illegal immigrants operating big rigs on our roads!” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on X.
