Reckless Driving Incident Involving Harjinder Singh

On August 22, Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant truck driver, was returned to Florida to face charges related to reckless driving that resulted in the deaths of three individuals in a crash, as reported by a media outlet.

Singh was escorted off a plane by Florida's Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins upon arrival to confront the charges against him. Collins stated on social media that he and Governor Ron DeSantis ensured Singh returned to 'face justice.'

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had issued an arrest detainer for Singh. According to DHS, Singh, who is undocumented, attempted an illegal U-turn on August 12 at an 'official use only' access point, blocking all highway lanes and causing the fatal accident.

Following the incident, on August 18, Tricia McLaughin, the Assistant Secretary of DHS, criticized California's Governor for issuing a commercial driver's license to Singh, emphasizing ongoing efforts to remove criminal illegal aliens from the country.
