St. Lucie County, Florida
An Indian migrant who killed 3 while performing an illegal U-turn with his big rig was spared deportation after saying he was afraid of being sent home.
Harjinder Singh crossed into California from Mexico in September 2018 and was promptly detained by Border Control, it was revealed after last Tuesday's crash.
Singh was marked for a fast-track deportation back to India, but claimed he had a fear of returning to his home in India, Fox News journalist Bill Melugin first revealed.
Immigration officials accepted his claims, which gave him a case for asylum in the US.
Singh was freed on a $5,000 immigration bond in January 2019 while his case was pending, as is standard practice for asylum seekers.
He was given a notice to appear before an immigration judge at a later date, but the backlog of asylum claims meant he never saw a courtroom.
Once he was freed from detention, Singh traveled back to California, where he was somehow able to obtain a commercial driver's license.
Singh stayed under the radar until August 12, when he attempted an illegal U-turn on Florida's Turnpike near Fort Pierce.
Footage from the cab of the truck showed a black minivan slam into the trailer as Singh began to turn.
All 3 occupants of the van were killed. Its driver, a 30 year-old man from Florida City, died after being flown to hospital by helicopter.
The passengers who also died were a 37 year-old woman from Pompano Beach and a 54 year-old man from Miami, NBC6 reported.
None of their identities have been released so far.
Singh faces 3 counts of vehicular homicide. Each carries a jail sentence of up to 15 years, followed by automatic deportation as a felon.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a detainer on him on Saturday after the crash, applying to have him deported.
After careful consideration of all factors and available records, Singh is considered a significant threat to public safety and is an exceptional circumstance warranting enforcement action due to the serious nature of his criminal history,' it said.
Video from inside his semi-truck shows the moment he casually began performing an illegal U-turn on a highway.
As he took up the entire highway, a minivan crashed directly into the side of the truck, unable to brake quick enough.
The area in which Singh was attempting to turn around was an 'official use only' pass, as was clearly stated on a no U-urn sign in front of it.
In the video, Singh remained calm as the minivan was completely demolished, with debris strewn across the highway.
He peered out the driver's side window immediately after the impact, before silently putting the truck in park and turning off the engine.
Moments later, Singh was caught on camera watching on as emergency services crews worked to free the mangled car from underneath the truck.
'Three people lost their lives as a result of his recklessness, and countless friends and family members will experience the pain of their loss forever,' Dave Kerner from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles said.
'The actions taken by the defendant while operating a commercial tractor-trailer are both shocking and criminal.
'Harjinder Singh is in custody on state vehicular homicide charges and immigration violations.
'He will no longer be able to damage and destroy the lives of Floridians and visitors.'" I posted what you said... And you said tragic not important.This is very important...
Once again, there's no tragedy so sad that it can't be exploited by Reichtards like yourself.
Great story.No I deserved itI know it is hard to believe but I did. I punched a guy that called a female friend a whore. That summer he got her drunk and raped her. He got in legal trouble and when school started he called her a whore. I heard him so I punched him in the face. It knocked him to the floor dazed. The school policy for fighting was both sides got 3 licks with a paddle or expulsion for a week. I took the licks my dad would have been worse
Ten years later I was back in my home town and went to a restaurant and a cop came up to me and asked if <blank> was my name. I wonder "what the hell did I do." He introduced himself he said Susan was his wife and he wanted to thank me. They were seated on the other side of the restaurant so I joined them for dinner. He even paid for my dinner.
I believe it was Mike Tyson who said, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the nose.”
Indeed.Let the investigations begin...those people's lives were important...

How many others are out there right with illegally issued CDL licenses? https://www.fox13news.com/news/ille...a-crash-pits-florida-against-california-again

Indeed…morning, TOP.
One life lost due to the Democrat’s open borders and sanctuary cities is too many.
It’s beyond insane that they were willing to sacrifice so many lives to remain in power.
If Kamala had been elected, the borders would have remained wide open and more Americans would be dying.
The Democrats made a calculated decision to put power above the lives of Americans.
During FMCSA’s interview with the driver, investigators administered an English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessment in accordance with FMCSA guidance. The driver failed the assessment, providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying 1 of 4 highway traffic signs.
Additional preliminary findings include:
So the moron illegal alien that caused this wreck that killed THREE AMERICANS could not even read the road signs when tested. He had no legal right to be driving an 80,000 lb missile down the highway. If he had read the "For Official Use Only" sign on the crossover perhaps these three Americans would be still alive.
Additional preliminary findings include:
- On July 15, 2023, Washington State issued the driver a regular full-term Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).
Asylum seekers or individuals without legal status are NOT eligible for this type of license.

Indeed and he had no legal right to even be in America.

I just can't believe that people
How crazy are they to not condemn this in every way, shape, and form? And want an investigation to hold everyone responsible....and to make sure no other drivers are on the road without proper licensing...

“The failures here are despicable. Non-enforcement and radical immigration policies have turned the trucking industry into a lawless frontier, resulting in unqualified foreign drivers improperly acquiring licenses to operate 40 to vehicles.
@Potus and I moved quickly to require drivers to speak English-our national language=and launch a full-scale audit of how these licenses are doled out.”
