‘Truck Around And Find Out’: Wyoming Sheriff Nabs 32 Illegal Immigrant Truckers In Just Three Days

The sheriff of Laramie County, Wyoming, just sent a loud and clear warning to illegal immigrants in his county: “Truck around and find out.”

Sheriff Brian Kozak said his office conducted “a three-day operation called ‘Truck Around and Find Out'” that led to 177 vehicle stops, nabbing 32 illegal immigrants along major interstates in the Cowboy State. Those illegal immigrants have since been turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“I really want to thank the truck drivers who are out there doing it right. I especially want to thank the truck drivers that were honking at our deputies, waving at them, stopping, thanking our deputies for helping them keep their industry safe and our roadways safe in Laramie County,” Kozak said in a recent Instagram video.

“So hopefully now the word is out, this is not the county that you want to truck around and find out. And when I say truck around, I mean drive a truck undocumented, unlicensed, and unsafe,” he said.

The operation focused on commercial trucks and cars driving recklessly near them. Deputies also issued 51 citations overall.

“Our traffic unit, which I have three full-time deputies assigned to traffic enforcement, they are looking for these violations every day,” Kozak told the Cowboy State Daily Friday. “And they seem to be bringing in either unlicensed or undocumented truck drivers every other day.”

“So, it’s a continuing thing for us,” he said.

Similar operations have been done along major highways in Indiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and California, where hundreds of illegal immigrant truckers have been pulled off the roads.

The issue earned national attention after Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, allegedly killed three people after making an illegal U-turn on a Florida interstate in August.

Singh had received a California commercial driver’s license after crossing the southern border illegally in 2018. He later failed his commercial driver’s license test ten times in two months before he received it, Fox News previously reported.

Singh’s fatal crash is part of a larger string of devastating collisions caused by illegal immigrant truckers.

The issue will also be spotlighted at a House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability hearing on Wednesday that will feature the sheriff from the county where Singh’s crash occurred, The Daily Wire first reported.

“We’re seeing in Wyoming and throughout the country, these big trucks are causing crashes and people are dying,” Kozak told the Cowboy State Daily.
