Florida converts truck inspection stations into ICE checkpoints after fatal Turnpike accident
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has shared plans to enhance safety measures by implementing federal immigration checkpoints at truck agricultural inspection stations across the state, in response to a tragic accident involving a truck driver who was illegally in the U.S. Uthmeier emphasized the importance of addressing the safety risks posed by individuals unlawfully operating commercial vehicles and called for federal action to revoke commercial driver's license program authority in states like California and Washington. The driver involved in the fatal crash failed an English proficiency test, casting light on the need for stricter enforcement. The initiative aims to prevent similar tragedies, with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services supporting the enhancement of inspections at state entry points to identify unauthorized drivers.
