Truck driver Harjinder Singh in fatal Florida crash was given work permit under Biden: DHS
The Department of Homeland Security has said that the illegal migrant truck driver, whose reckless driving killed three people in Florida, had received work papers under the Biden administration. Harjinder Singh, from India, had been denied a work permit during Donald Trump's first term in office, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Monday. Harjinder Singh crossed into the United States in September 2018. (DHS) Singh crossed into the United States in September 2018. Sources told The New York Post that during Trump's first term, he was processed for fast-track deportation. Despite this, he was able to stay on in the US, claiming a threat to his life back in India. He even received a work permit in California and was able to land a trucking job. On August 12, Singh attempted to make an illegal U-turn through an 'Official Use Only' access point in St. Lucie County. His reckless driving led to a 'brutal wreck', killing three people. Work permit under Biden administration 'Singh obtained a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) in California, despite having no legal right to be in the United States,' said the DHS on Monday. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin hit out at California Governor Gavin Newsom, a member of the Democratic Party. 'Three innocent people were killed in Florida because Gavin Newsom's California Department of Motor Vehicles issued an illegal alien a Commercial Driver's License—this state of governance is asinine,' said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. 'How many more innocent people must die before Gavin Newsom stops playing games with the safety of the American public? We pray for the victims and their families. Secretary Noem and DHS are working around the clock to protect the public and get these criminal illegal aliens out of America.' ICE issued an immigration detainer on August 16, 2025, following Singh's arrest, to ensure he remains in custody after his state prosecution. The detainer guarantees that once his criminal case is resolved, he will be immediately transferred to ICE custody rather than released back into the community.

Meth buster: Tanzanian woman jailed for 10 years in Ludhiana.
Ludhiana: A Tanzanian woman has been sentenced to 10 years in prison by a local court after being caught with 260 g of methamphetamine, known locally as ICE, during a roadside police check. Judge Manila Chugh of the special court also imposed a fine of ₹1 lakh on the African woman. If unpaid, the sentence will be extended by another year. The convict, 27-year-old Doreen Pius of Dar es Salaam, had been living near Noida in New Delhi. She was arrested on Aug 29, 2022, after police in Khanna spotted her stepping out of a vehicle with a bag on GT Road. A search, carried out by a female officer, revealed a packet of ICE weighing 260 g. Police, later, filed charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, which carries some of the country's harshest drug penalties. During trial, Pius pleaded innocence, claiming she had been implicated falsely. Her lawyer has argued that no independent witnesses were present when the drugs were seized. But the court dismissed that argument, ruling that testimony from multiple officers present at the scene was consistent and credible. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The court held that both oral and documentary evidence showed she was in conscious possession of the drugs at the time of her arrest. In her plea for leniency, Pius told the court she was a poor woman and mother of a five-year-old daughter in Delhi, with no prior criminal record. She asked for compassion, but the court said the gravity of the offence outweighed her appeal. Under Indian law, possession of methamphetamine in such quantities carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years.
