More Indian Migrant Truck Drivers Caught Trafficking Drugs Across Border with Canada

More Indian migrants licensed as Canadian truck drivers are being arrested by U.S. authorities for smuggling dangerous drugs through the United States.

The growing role of Indian truckers is another problem imposed by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to invite millions of poor Indians to live in once-prosperous Canada.

The latest, Amarjeet Singh Matharu, a migrant from India to the greater Toronto area, was nabbed by Arizona State Troopers on Monday as he drove his semi on Interstate 40 near Holbrook {snip}

Officials say Matharu was caught with 550 pounds of cocaine hidden behind his load of produce headed to Canada. {snip}

He is far from the only Indian national from Canada arrested in the U.S. Officials also arrested many other truckers out of Canada including, Sukhraj Singh, 22, of Caledon; Sukjindr Singh, 29, of Peel Region; Naseeb Chisty, 49, of Etobicoke; Jasbir Singh, 40, of Paris, Ontario; Arshdeep Singh, 23, of Quebec City; Juli Sabosan Sathiaseelan, 42; and Gagandeep Singh among others.

Last year, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced a wide-ranging investigation into a ring of criminals from India that had gone on a terror spree across the country to silence those criticizing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi or supporting his opponents.
