Florida accident: Indian-origin truck driver Harjinder Singh’s work permit approved by Biden admin, claims DHS

Florida accident: Indian-origin truck driver Harjinder Singh's work permit approved by Biden admin, claims DHS

Trump admin says Indian-origin Harjinder Singh was given work permit in 2021 by the Biden administration.

The Department of Homeland Security claimed that Indian truck driver Harjinder Singh whose wrong U-turn took three lives in Florida was given a work permit by the Joe Biden administration — amid an intense debate over who allowed to let Singh to enter the US and who allowed him to work and get a driver’s license. According to records, Harjinder Singh entered the US illegally in 2018 and was arrested by the Border Police two days after he entered. He was released on a $5,000 bond after he said he was scared to go back to India. His immigration status has remained pending since then. As his driver’s license was issued from California, the Trump administration blamed Dem-ruled California for sheltering illegal aliens, but Gavin Newsom’s office claimed that Harjinder was allowed to stay in the US by the Trump administration. And that’s how he got his driver’s license. DHS official Tricia McLaughlin now claimed that Singh’s work authorization was rejected in 2020 under the Trump administration but it was later approved under the Biden administration in 2021. “The state of California issues Commercial Drivers Licenses. There is no national CDL,” the DHS official said

Row over Harjinder Singh

Harjinder Singh was driving a semi truck on August 12 on when he took a U-turn which was wrong and it resulted in an accident involving a mini van. Two passengers, a 37-year-old woman from Pompano Beach and a 54-year-old man from Miami, died at the scene. The driver, a 30-year-old man from Florida City, later died at a hospital. Singh and his co-passenger were not hurt. Singh was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide.The row started with the video of the truck going viral as it was evident that Singh and his co-passenger were immigrants. The row intensified after it was found that Singh was an illegal alien who entered the US without any documentation and got a work permit and a driver’s license.
