The four victims have been identified as Henry Eicher, 50, Menno Eicher, 25, Paul Eicher, 19, and Simon Girod, 23 of Bryant, Indiana.
An illegal immigrant truck driver who entered the US under the Biden administration is now in ICE custody after being charged with killing four people in an Indiana crash.
30-year-old Bekzhan Beishekeev was driving in the area of State Road 67 and County Road 550 East in Jay County, Indiana at around 4 pm when his truck struck a van, Indiana State Police said. He reportedly swerved into oncoming traffic instead of coming to a stop for a slowed semi-truck and crashed head-on into the van. Several of the victims were reportedly Amish, per Fox News.
The four victims have been identified as Henry Eicher, 50, Menno Eicher, 25, Paul Eicher, 19, and Simon Girod, 23 of Bryant, Indiana. The driver of the van, 55-year-old Donald Stipp, was taken to the hospital.
The Department of Homeland Security told Fox News that Kyrgyzstani national Bekzhan Beishekeev, 30, entered the US in late December 2024 using the Biden-era CBP One phone app. He entered through the Nogales, Arizona port of entry and was released by the administration into the US on parole. Per Fox News' Bill Melugin, Beishekeev received his CDL from Pennsylvania.
DHS said, "ICE issued an immigration detainer against Beishekeev with the Jay County Jail on Feb. 4. And, because the state of Indiana cooperates with ICE, we were able to take him into custody on the morning of February 5. He will remain in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings."
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a statement, "Not only was Bekzhan Beishekeev released into our country by the Biden administration using the CBP One app, but he was also given a commercial driver’s license by Governor Shapiro’s Pennsylvania. These decisions have had deadly consequences and led to the death of four innocent people in Indiana on Tuesday. It is incredibly dangerous for illegal aliens, who often don’t know our traffic laws or even English, to be operating semi-trucks on America’s roads. These sanctuary governors must stop giving illegal aliens commercial driver’s licenses before another American gets killed."
In Thursday’s White House press conference, press secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized the Biden administration’s CBP One app.
"Four Americans were tragically killed and lost their lives this week, yet again, from an illegal alien, an individual who was paroled into the country by the Biden administration using the CBP One app, which they created like it was a Magic Pass for Disneyland. That’s not how immigration in this country should work."
She later added, "This is another tragedy that could have been prevented, if not for the wide open borders from the previous administration. That’s why we now have a secure border. That’s why this administration will continue to deport illegal aliens from our country."
