U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged arrest detainers for two criminal illegal aliens in Indiana after they were arrested for smuggling more than 300 pounds of cocaine in a semi-truck. The detainers were issued on January 4, 2026 following the arrest of Gurpreet Singh, 25, and Jasveer Singh, 30, both from India, by local authorities in Putnam County. Law enforcement located 309 pounds of cocaine in the sleeper berth of the truck during a routine inspection. Both individuals held commercial driver licenses issued by the state of California. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the licenses were granted and that sanctuary policies had failed to honor a detainer, putting American lives at risk. Singh illegally entered the U.S. on March 11, 2023 near Lukeville, Arizona, and admitted his status. Jasveer Singh entered on March 21, 2017 near Otay Mesa, California, and was previously arrested for stolen property in December 2025.
