Overview

  • DHS said ICE arrested Indian national Anmol Anmol on Sept. 23 in Oklahoma after a truck-scale inspection, finding a New York Class A REAL ID CDL that listed his name as “No Name Given Anmol.”
  • New York DMV confirmed the license’s authenticity—issued April 14, 2025 and expiring May 26, 2028—while stating it was granted under federal guidelines using employment authorization and that some applicants have a single name.
  • DHS said Anmol entered the U.S. illegally in 2023, was released into the country, and has been placed in removal proceedings following the arrest.
  • The arrest occurred during a three-day 287(g) operation along I-40 with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol that netted roughly 120 arrests, many involving commercial drivers using out-of-state CDLs.
  • Federal officials criticized New York’s licensing practices as DHS and DOT push tighter vetting, citing recent DOT restrictions on non-domiciled CDLs and renewed safety concerns after the Florida Harjinder Singh fatal crash.
