Overview
- Florida investigators say Singh attempted an unauthorized U-turn through an 'Official Use Only' access point on the Turnpike, blocking lanes before a minivan struck his trailer and three people died.
- DHS says Singh entered the U.S. unlawfully in 2018 and later obtained a commercial driver’s license in California, and an ICE detainer requests custody once state proceedings conclude.
- The Department of Transportation says FMCSA examiners recorded two correct answers out of 12 on an English assessment and one of four on a highway-sign test for Singh.
- California’s governor’s office claimed Singh’s federal work permit was issued under Trump, but DHS says it was denied in September 2020 and approved in June 2021 under Biden.
- U.S. Marshals arrested Singh in California on the Florida warrants, as federal and state reviews of CDL issuance and compliance with FMCSA rules continue.
