Wrong-way Somali trucker was charged with a misdemeanor and SET FREE. His CDL was NOT revoked. Ibrahim Ali, a Somali migrant with no English skills, was caught driving southbound in the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 61 in Missouri for miles at ~50 mph, forcing vehicles to swerve to avoid him. Missouri State Highway Patrol finally pulled him over. During the stop: ⛔️He failed an English proficiency test ⛔️Couldn’t identify basic road signs ⛔️Yet holds a valid Minnesota-issued CDL The truck belongs to a company registered in 2023 to Abdiwali Ahmed (also Somali migrant), operating out of an apartment in Minnesota. It employs just two drivers but logged 81,000 miles in 2024. Ali faces misdemeanor charges (wrong-way driving on divided highway + careless/imprudent operation) but was released with a no-bond warrant—no arrest.
