The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had lodged an arrest detainer for Harjinder Singh. DHS, citing the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Singh, an illegal alien, on August 12 attempted to make an illegal U-turn through an "official use only" access point, which blocked all lanes of the highway with his truck and resulted in a wreck, causing 3 deaths.
Shortly after the incident, on August 18, Tricia McLaughin, the Assistant Secretary of DHS slammed the Governor of California for issuing a commercial driver's license to the illegal alien.
She posted on X, "Secretary Noem and DHS are working around the clock to protect the public and get these criminal illegal aliens out of America."
