Biden’s Border App Linked to Amish Deaths

A foreign national admitted through Biden’s controversial CBP One app killed four Amish community members while driving for a fraudulent trucking operation that exploited regulatory loopholes for years—exposing how failed border policies and systemic enforcement gaps created a deadly combination on American highways.

Story Snapshot

Bekzhan Beishekeev, a Kyrgyzstani national paroled via Biden’s CBP One app just weeks earlier, caused a fatal head-on collision killing four Amish passengers on February 3, 2025
Investigation revealed the driver worked for a “chameleon carrier” network—shell companies evading federal safety regulations since 2020 with nearly 100 crashes on record
Pennsylvania’s Shapiro administration issued Beishekeev a commercial driver’s license despite his immigration status, drawing federal criticism for enabling the tragedy
The KGZ outfit operated multiple fraudulent trucking companies sharing vehicles under different registrations to dodge safety enforcement and exploit hundreds of drivers

Biden Border Policy Meets Regulatory Failure

Bekzhan Beishekeev entered the United States on December 19, 2024, at the Nogales, Arizona port of entry using the Biden administration’s CBP One app and received parole status. Less than two months later, on February 3, 2025, his Freightliner semitrailer swerved into oncoming traffic on Indiana State Route 67, striking a 15-passenger van carrying Amish community members. Four people died—a father, two sons, and a 22-year-old passenger—with two others hospitalized. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt characterized the CBP One app as operating “like a magic pass to Disneyland,” emphasizing how the program facilitated entry for individuals who subsequently caused American deaths.

Pennsylvania’s Licensing Debacle Compounds Tragedy

Governor Josh Shapiro’s Pennsylvania administration issued Beishekeev a commercial driver’s license despite his immigration status, a decision now under intense scrutiny. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated that Beishekeev was “not only 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.” The incident underscores how sanctuary state policies and lax licensing procedures create dangerous conditions when coupled with inadequate federal border enforcement. Hardworking American families should never face threats from drivers who shouldn’t possess commercial licenses in the first place.

Chameleon Carrier Network Exposed After Years of Operation

Investigative journalist Rob Carpenter identified the truck’s logo as belonging to the KGZ outfit, a chameleon carrier network he investigated for months. These operations involve shell corporations sharing ownership while maintaining separate DOT registrations to circumvent federal safety regulations. The network traces back to Sam Express Corp. in Illinois, with multiple entities bearing Kyrgyzstani names. AJ Partners alone shared 139 vehicle identification numbers with Tash Express Inc. and 36 VINs with KG Line Group—the same trucks inspected under different DOT numbers. This fraudulent scheme accumulated nearly 100 crashes and numerous FMCSA violations while exploiting commercial drivers through predatory leasing arrangements. A November 2025 lawsuit filed against Sam Express documented these operations as designed to “evade federal safety regulations, avoid legal liability, circumvent customer blacklist, and systematically exploit commercial drivers.”

Federal Enforcement Gaps Enable Deadly Operations

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration created the ARCHI program to identify chameleon carriers by screening applications and matching registration data. Yet the KGZ outfit operated since at least 2020, demonstrating catastrophic enforcement failures. Industry veteran Dave Schroyer noted this “isn’t the first case” and that “there’s been several of these that have started making national news in the last year.” The persistence of these networks reveals how bureaucratic inefficiency allows bad actors to game the system while legitimate carriers face compliance costs. When federal agencies fail to protect Americans from preventable tragedies, it exemplifies the government overreach conservatives have warned about—expanding regulatory bureaucracies that cannot execute their basic missions while honest businesses shoulder burdensome rules.

Amish Community Pays Ultimate Price for Policy Failures

The Bryant-area Amish community suffered devastating losses in this entirely preventable tragedy. Three passengers died at the crash scene near County Road 550 East in Jay County, with a fourth succumbing to injuries at the hospital. Two others remain hospitalized. The Amish cultural response—grieving privately, forgiving publicly, and burying their dead without lawsuits or press conferences—stands in stark contrast to the bureaucratic failures that cost them their loved ones. This peaceful, hardworking community represents traditional American values, making their victimization by converging policy failures particularly egregious. Bekzhan Beishekeev faces charges for killing four people and remains in Jay County Jail, but accountability for the systemic failures enabling this tragedy remains elusive.
