ICE Arrests Trucker With New York CDL Listing 'No Name Given,' Citing Immigration Violations

The case underscores mounting federal scrutiny of state identity checks for commercial driver’s licenses.

Overview

  • Homeland Security said ICE arrested Indian national Anmol Anmol on September 23 during an I-40 truck-scale inspection with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol under a 287(g) partnership and placed him in removal proceedings.
  • He was carrying a New York Class A commercial driver’s license issued in April 2025 and valid through May 2028 that displayed “No Name Given” before his surname and bore a REAL ID marking.
  • DHS said Anmol entered the U.S. illegally in 2023 and had been released into the country, and he remains in ICE custody, according to Newsweek.
  • A New York DMV official said the license holder has federal employment authorization and that the credential was issued under federal guidelines, noting procedures for applicants with a single legal name.
  • The arrest occurred during a multi-day I-40 operation that resulted in about 120 arrests, including many commercial drivers using out-of-state CDLs, as federal regulators tighten non-domiciled CDL rules following audits and a deadly Florida crash.
