Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested Harneet Singh, the brother of Harjinder Singh, who is implicated in a tragic incident that left three innocent people dead on a Florida highway. Reports indicate Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant, used an emergency vehicle median to make an unlawful U-turn. After this incident, Harjinder fled to California, prompting Lt. Gov. Jay Collins to oversee his extradition efforts.
On Friday, ICE confirmed that Harneet Singh, at just 25 years old, was a passenger during the catastrophic crash. “Three innocent people were killed in Florida because Gavin Newsom’s California Department of Motor Vehicles issued an illegal alien a Commercial Driver’s License—this state of governance is asinine,” stated DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. Her comments underscore strong criticisms of the policies that allowed this situation to unfold.
McLaughlin did not mince words, pointing out the dire consequences of lax enforcement. “How many more innocent people must die before Gavin Newsom stops playing games with the safety of the American public?” she questioned, emphasizing the urgency for accountability. She indicated that efforts are being made to ensure public safety and remove criminal illegal aliens from the country.
These sentiments reflect deep frustrations over current immigration policies, particularly as they relate to public safety. Following the crash, Harjinder Singh has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide, a serious charge that highlights the gravity of the incident.
Newsom’s administration has rebuffed accusations of negligence. A spokesperson for the governor defended their stance, stating, “So, let’s get this straight: Florida let a murder suspect walk, California police had to step in and arrest him and now Florida’s new LG is staging a photo op to pick him up?” This counter-argument from California seeks to redirect blame back to Florida officials, illustrating the complexities and tensions surrounding this incident.
Concerns have also surfaced regarding Harjinder Singh’s ability to operate a vehicle safely. Authorities highlighted that he struggled with the English language, having answered three out of twelve verbal questions on his driver test and only identifying one street sign out of four shown. This raises serious questions about how he was granted a Commercial Driver’s License in the first place.
The fallout from the crash continues as local and state officials grapple with the implications of illegal immigration on road safety. With investigations underway, the focus remains on understanding how such policies could lead to serious public safety issues and the potential responsibilities of various state agencies.
