Overview
Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant, was arrested in Florida after causing a fatal truck crash with an unlawful U-turn, resulting in three deaths.
Singh possessed a commercial driver's license issued by California, a state that permits undocumented immigrants to obtain such licenses since 2015.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed California's policy, which has issued over one million licenses to undocumented immigrants.
The fatal incident and Singh's immigration status have intensified tensions between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and California's governor over state licensing policies.
Singh faces multiple charges, including three counts of vehicular homicide and various immigration violations, following his arrest for the deadly highway incident.
