The Trump Administration has taken decisive action against a California trucking company following a tragic accident that resulted in the deaths of three Americans. The incident involved an illegal alien truck driver who caused the crash on a Florida highway. Reports have identified the driver as Harjinder Singh, who was charged with three counts of vehicular homicide. After making an illegal U-turn on Florida’s Turnpike, he exhibited no remorse as he assessed the devastating aftermath of the crash.
The trucking company, White Hawk Carriers, has come under intense scrutiny. Based in Ceres, California, it has a troubling safety record with 25 trucking safety violations reported in just 24 inspections. This company employed Singh, a driver who not only had limited English proficiency but was also unable to legally operate the vehicle. “You cannot employ somebody who cannot read the road signs,” stated Governor Ron DeSantis, emphasizing accountability in this situation.
In a major move, the Trump Administration revoked White Hawk’s license to operate as a motor property common carrier. This action essentially shuts down their operations across state lines. Governor DeSantis highlighted the severity of the situation, noting that the company must be held accountable for its choices that led to such a calamity.
The matter is compounded by information that reveals Singh received a work permit from the Biden Administration in June 2021, following a prior denial from the Trump Administration. He entered the U.S. illegally in 2018, and the driver’s license he obtained in California raises significant legal concerns. Despite California’s law prohibiting illegal aliens from receiving such documents, news of Singh’s driving permit suggests a failure in the application of that law.
In a puzzling response, Governor Gavin Newsom’s office attempted to shift blame to the previous administration, claiming that “research consistently shows that issuing driver’s licenses for undocumented people improves public safety.” This assertion is perplexing, especially in light of the tragic incident and the fatalities involved.
This situation has underscored the liabilities that arise from sanctuary policies and the consequences of granting driver’s licenses to individuals who should not have them. As the penalties unfold, the ramifications for both White Hawk Carriers and the individuals involved are becoming clearer, signaling a profound recognition of the need for accountability in these matters.
