The fallout from the vehicular homicide of three Americans by an Indian illegal alien continued today.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, whose motor vehicles agency gave Harjinder Singh a commercial driver’s license (CDL) despite his inability to understand English, offered more false claims about the case, including the charges against the illegal alien.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio suspended work visas for foreign truck drivers.
On August 14, Singh made an illegal U-turn in his 18-wheeler from the right northbound lane on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce. A sign told motorists that U-turns are allowed for “official use only.”
Video shows a Chrysler minivan plowing into the trailer. Two passengers were killed instantly, and the driver died later at the hospital.
Trying to cover his state’s egregious and indeed fatal error in giving Singh the CDL, Newsom attempted to blame the Trump administration for giving him a work permit.
In fact, the Biden administration gave him a work permit, reported DHS spokesman Tricia McLaughlin.
Today, Newsom tried peddling more falsehoods.
“Florida let a murder suspect walk, California police had to step in and arrest him, and now Florida’s new [lieutenant governor] is staging a photo op to pick him up,” Newsom wrote on X:
Meatball Ron [DeSantis] (who lost to Mickey Mouse) is now proving that California’s so-called “sanctuary” laws actually work. Thanks, Governor!
FACTS:
– Entered this country in 2018 under Trump.
– Received a federal Employment Authorization (work permit).
– Reissued a federal Employment Authorization (work permit) on 4/9/2025 — during the second Trump administration.
As McLaughlin noted, Singh was slated for deportation until he claimed fear of persecution if he were returned home.
But beyond that, Singh is not charged with “murder,” and “California cops” didn’t arrest him. Fox News’ Bill Melugin noted:
He’s not a murder suspect. It’s a vehicular homicide case.
California didn’t arrest him — US Marshals did.
