Another illegal truck driver has been arrested following the death of a Maryland father in a fatal vehicle accident.
Dawood Hussain, an illegal Pakistani alien, was charged with felony vehicular homicide after driving his tractor-trailer the wrong way on a Pennsylvania highway in October 2023.
Hussain crashed into the vehicle of Hendry Tamarez Nunez, a Maryland resident and father of two.
According to police reports and security camera footage, he took the wrong exit (using an off-ramp instead of an on-ramp), ignored a “wrong way” sign and a one-way indicator, and drove northbound in the southbound lanes at about 44 mph. His truck collided head-on with the vehicle driven by Nunez.
Although Hussain was charged in July, 2025, he was freed on a $100,000 unsecured bail.
On March 13, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested him during a scheduled interview with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in Virginia. USCIS had identified his pending criminal charges through screening and flagged him as a public safety threat. He remains in custody pending trial.
USCIS notes, “Rigorous screening and vetting process identified Hussain’s criminal charges and flagged him as a public safety threat. Officers promptly alerted Immigration and Customs Enforcement of Hussain’s scheduled interview at USCIS’ Arlington, Virginia, office. ICE arrested him without incident, and he will remain in custody pending trial.”
USCIS spokesman Matthew J. Tragesser shared, “Illegal aliens should not be operating 80,000-pound tractor-trailers on American roads.”
“This tragedy, like many others, was completely preventable. Under President Trump’s leadership, USCIS remains committed to safeguarding our communities by helping to ensure dangerous illegal aliens are removed from our country, as well as supporting the president’s call for even tougher measures to prevent future truck tragedies.”
USDOT Secretary Sean Duffy has made removing dangerous, unqualified drivers a priority, focused on safety first, no CDLs for those in the country illegally or unable to meet basic qualifications (English, training, immigration status verification), and holding states accountable with funding consequences if they don’t comply.
Safety experts estimate that as many as 130,000 illegal-alien truck drivers may be operating in the United States, with tens of thousands believed to have obtained licenses through illegitimate means.
The Gateway Pundit has reported on the deadly consequences of illegal alien truckers.
