Two illegal aliens from India, Gurpreet Singh and Jasveer Singh, were arrested in Indiana for smuggling over 300 pounds of cocaine in a semi-truck. They obtained Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) from California, which has been criticized for its sanctuary policies.
• Arrest Details: The arrests occurred on January 4, 2026, in Putnam County, Indiana. Both men face narcotics trafficking charges after police discovered the cocaine hidden in their truck.
• Impact of Smuggling: The amount of cocaine confiscated is estimated to be enough to potentially kill over 113,000 people.
• Licensing Controversy: Criticism has been directed at California’s laws, allowing the men to acquire CDLs despite their illegal status. The Department of Homeland Security highlighted these policies as threats to public safety.
• Backgrounds of the Suspects: Gurpreet Singh crossed the border illegally on March 11, 2023, while Jasveer Singh crossed the border on March 21, 2017. Both had past encounters with law enforcement. Local authorities previously refused to turn Jasveer over to federal agents due to sanctuary policies.
The situation raises serious concerns regarding illegal immigration and narcotics trafficking, particularly in relation to how sanctuary state policies may contribute to public safety risks.
