Truck driver accused by the Trump administration of being in the US
illegally is denied bond

A truck driver accused of making an illegal U-turn that killed three
people in Florida last week was denied bond Saturday.
The crash sparked a clash between US Department of Homeland Security
and California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom over Harjinder Singh, a
native of India, obtaining a and driver’s license in the state. The
Trump administration says Singh was in the US illegally.
Singh was charged with three state counts of vehicular homicide and
immigration violations, and he was denied bond on all charges. He is
being held in the St. Lucie County Jail, Lt. Andrew Bolonka from the
St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office said. US Immigration and Customs
Enforcement has put a hold on him.
Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said issuing a
commercial license to someone in the country illegally is
“asinine.” California is one of 19 states, in addition to the
District of Columbia, that issues licenses regardless of immigration
status. Supporters say that lets people work, visit doctors and travel
safely.
Newsom’s press office responded on platform X that Singh obtained a
work permit while Donald Trump was president, which McLaughlin
disputed.
Florida authorities said Singh entered the US illegally from Mexico in
2018.
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis dispatched Lt. Gov. Jay Collins to
California to escort Singh onto an airplane Thursday.
Singh made the illegal turn on the highway about 50 miles north of West
Palm Beach, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. A minivan in the
neighboring lane was unable to avoid the truck’s trailer and slammed
into it, killing the minivan’s driver and two passengers.
Singh and a passenger in his truck were not injured.
