Illegal immigrant extradited from California faces vehicular homicide charges

Illegal Immigrant Charged with Vehicular Homicide Extradited from California to Florida

A tragic incident on the Florida Turnpike has left three people dead and a community in mourning. Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant, allegedly made an illegal U-turn in an unauthorized area, resulting in a collision with a minivan that claimed the lives of three individuals. Singh then fled to California, where he was apprehended and extradited back to Florida to face charges of vehicular homicide.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) reported that Singh failed English and road sign tests following the crash. This raises questions about how he was able to obtain a commercial driver’s license (CDL) in California despite lacking basic English proficiency and knowledge of road signs.

Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins expressed frustration with California Governor Gavin Newsom’s immigration policies, blaming them for allowing tragedies like this to occur. He criticized Newsom for issuing a CDL to someone who was not adequately prepared to operate a commercial vehicle.

Despite pushback from Newsom’s office, which claimed that Singh’s work authorization was approved under the Biden administration, Florida officials remain committed to ensuring that justice is served. Governor Ron DeSantis emphasized that fleeing to a sanctuary state will not protect Singh from facing the consequences of his actions in Florida.

The case highlights the complexities of immigration and law enforcement across state lines. As the legal proceedings unfold, the community grapples with the loss of three lives and the need for accountability in the face of tragedy.
