(Tallahassee, FL) - Florida's Attorney General announcing more checkpoints and pullover lanes are being set up on the northern border to prevent illegal big rig drivers from entering or leaving the state.

Attorney General James Uthmeier says another illegal migrant was just arrested driving a commercial vehicle in Bay County and is now under an ICE hold.

As a result of a recent triple-fatal wreck involving an undocumented big rig driver on the turnpike, Uthmeier says Agriculture Law Enforcement has 24 interdiction stations that will be equipped with X-ray technology along the northern border. Pullover lanes are also being installed.

Ag Commissioner Wilton Simpson warns big rig drivers that if you have obtained a CDL from a sanctuary state, those licenses are invalid in Florida. And Florida is calling on the federal government to revoke CDL programs in California for illegals.
