President Donald Trump's administration announced the results of a crackdown on illegal immigration in the trucking industry on Tuesday.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) began the crackdown, Operation Highway Shield, in Florida earlier this year.

The DOT has since expanded the effort to multiple states in the Midwest, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Ohio, Fox News has learned.

Officials carried out 3,487 enforcement stops during the operation that resulted in 766 unsafe commercial vehicles or drivers placed out of service, 51 immigration detentions, 47 criminal charges filed, 39 incarcerations, 36 English Language Proficiency (ELP) violations, and three cargo theft recoveries totaling roughly $1 million in stolen freight.
