According to information from U.S. authorities, Bejshekeev entered the country through the CBP One app and obtained a commercial driver's license (CDL) from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. His detention was carried out by Indiana police in conjunction with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the 287(g) program.

Currently, Bejshekeev is in ICE custody in Fort Wayne and is awaiting the results of his immigration proceedings. U.S. officials also emphasize that the tragedy could have been avoided under different conditions for obtaining driver's documentation.
