Overview

• Harjinder Singh faces three counts of vehicular homicide after an alleged unlawful U‑turn on the Florida Turnpike left three minivan occupants dead, while he and a passenger were uninjured.
• An ICE detainer is in place after investigators said Singh entered the U.S. illegally in 2018, positioning federal authorities to take him into immigration custody after the state case concludes.
• Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration testing found Singh answered 2 of 12 English proficiency questions correctly and identified 1 of 4 traffic signs, triggering a review of his commercial licensing.
• DOT and FMCSA say they are investigating how California and Washington issued his CDLs, with preliminary findings noting a 2023 Washington full‑term CDL and a 2024 California limited‑term CDL.
• DHS officials fault California’s policy of issuing licenses regardless of immigration status, while Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office disputes DHS over the timing of Singh’s work authorization, which DHS says was approved in June 2021.
