Racist truck driver who told neighbors to 'go back to Mexico' is an immigrant himself: FBI

21 July 2023

Marian Hudak is the 51-year-old Concord, North Carolina resident and Donald Trump supporter who allegedly launched a campaign of racial intimidation against his neighbors. Hudak, according to police reports, tried to run Black motorists off the road, displayed a Confederate flag in his pickup truck, made death threats, and hurled racial insults at Black and Latino neighbors.

Hudak reportedly has very anti-immigrant views and told some of his neighbors to "go back to Mexico." But according to an FBI search warrant that the Daily Beast has obtained a copy of, Hudak himself is an immigrant.

The Beast's Justin Rohrlich reports that the search warrant says Hudak "immigrated to the United States in 2001." The document doesn't specify which country he came from, but Rohrlich notes that Hudak is an East European name.

Rohrlich reports, "Among other things, prosecutors say Hudak has pulled guns, unprovoked, on members of minority groups; verbally abused and physically assaulted his Mexican neighbors…. Hudak was already under state supervision when he was taken into custody by the feds under Title 18 and Title 42 laws, which make it illegal to harass anyone based on their race, religion, gender, sexual preference, or national origin. Last November, Hudak was sentenced to probation on a misdemeanor property damage charge, North Carolina Department of Adult Correction data shows."
