Illegal who killed three in Florida granted license in California

 Blaze:

An illegal alien accused of killing three people on a Florida highway was previously processed for deportation — but was able to stay after claiming he feared being sent back to his home country of India, according to reports. The illegal migrant suspect was allegedly granted a license in Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom's California despite having no legal right to be in the United States.

Harjinder Singh, 28, was arrested on Saturday after authorities said he made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce while driving a tractor-trailer.

The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office said in a statement, "The incident involves a semi-truck and trailer that jackknifed and came to rest on top of a passenger vehicle at the 170-mile marker northbound side of the Florida Turnpike."

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles stated in a press release, "Based upon our initial, but ongoing criminal investigation, it is evident that the driver of the commercial semi-truck recklessly, and without regard for the safety of others, attempted to execute a U-turn utilizing an unauthorized location. As a result of his actions, the three occupants of the mini-van are now deceased."

The Palm Beach Post reported that the victims of the deadly crash were a 54-year-old man from Miami, a 37-year-old woman from Pompano Beach, and a 30-year-old man from Florida City. Two of the crash victims were pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver was rushed to Lawnwood Hospital in Fort Pierce, where he died later that evening.

Singh was charged with three counts of vehicular homicide.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier proclaimed, "There will be accountability for this illegal alien’s reckless disregard for human life. He will not escape justice in Florida. Not on my watch."

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles noted, "During the course of this criminal investigation and with the assistance of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, state troopers determined that Harjinder Singh entered the United States illegally, having crossed the Mexico border in 2018."

"The defendant then obtained a commercial driver’s license in the state of California," the statement continued. "Under the federal authority delegated by ICE to FHP state troopers through the 287(g) program, state troopers issued an ICE detainer."

The Department of Homeland Security declared, "This detainer ensures he will be transferred to ICE custody the moment his criminal case concludes."

The DHS said on Monday, "Singh obtained a commercial driver’s license in California, despite having no legal right to be in the United States."

"Governor Newsom put Americans' lives directly at risk by arming this illegal alien with the ability to operate a 40-ton killing machine on U.S. highways," the statement proclaimed. "This reckless policy gave Singh the keys, and three innocent people paid with their lives."

India does not strike me as a scary country.  My youngest daughter spent time there with no problem.  She liked the people of India.  California appears to have screw-up by giving an illegal a driver's license to use a big rig.   He was on the other side of the country when he was involved in the deadly collision.
