Harjinder Singh's Turnpike crash sparks outrage; netizens share similar reckless driving video from Canada, demand industry probe
Netizens are now questioning whether enough oversight exists within the North American trucking industry, especially given the recurring pattern in both the US and Canada. While critics claim that some individuals in these roles, often asylum seekers or recent immigrants, are exploiting the system.
As the videos circulate widely, calls for stricter background checks and investigations into the trucking sector are growing louder.
Similar act of reckless driving in Canada surfaces on social media
Following the buzz on social media regarding Hajinder Singh, the man behind the killing of 3 people in California, a video showing a Sikh truck driver engaging in reckless driving in Winnipeg, Canada, has recently surfaced on the internet.
The clip has reignited concerns about the safety and calls for stricter regulations within the trucking industry. X (formerly called Twitter), who shared the video, also stated, 'Instead of protecting their own Canadian and American citizens, the governments of Canada and the USA 🇺🇸 continue to support these Sikh turban asylum seekers who protest every single day for Khalistan.'
The tweet read, 'Turban stands for illegal alien and anarchy. The Sikh truck driver Harjinder Singh, who killed 3 people in Florida is not even old news, and yet again another Sikh truck driver wearing a turban in Winnipeg, Canada, is doing exactly the same thing.'

Netizens call for strict action after fatal crash
As the incident sparked debate online, the president of a Canada-based company shared a post mentioning that similar incidents have been reported in Canada too. With large-scale immigration, some individuals have allegedly found ways to exploit the system, obtaining licences through mills run by foreigners.
This has raised calls for a thorough investigation of the trucking industry and demands for stricter immigration enforcement and deportations.
The tweet read, 'Another POS that shouldn't even be in America kills a family of 3 with a semi truck. Harjinder Singh crossed into the US illegally and got licensed in sanctuary state of California. The braidead muppet decided to do an illegal u turn on an interstate killing a family. He didn't even blink at it.'

'The whole trucking industry needs to be investigated. Time for mass deportation,' he added.
One user added, 'Driver didn't even blink as he killed those Americans.' 'Even if you deport him, India wont accept him because most probably he fled from India and lied in US to get that License. And most likely he might be a Khalistani.'
While one said, 'Sue the company he works for and the place he got his licence from, take everything from them, their homes and businesses, and then deport them all. And him put him in jail for 50 years and toss the key.'
"As far as the illegal alien truck driver that got his commercial license in California and drove to Florida and caused the death of 3 people during an illegal U-turn, the DOJ should make California and Gavin Newsom accomplices to the deaths from aiding and abetting."

Trump admin to vet applicants for ‘anti-American' views in US immigration cases
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump's administration said on Tuesday it would look for "anti-American" views, including on social media, when deciding on the right to live in the United States. US Citizenship and Immigration Services, which handles requests to stay in the United States or become a citizen, said it would expand vetting of the social media postings of applicants. "America's benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies," agency spokesman Matthew Tragesser said in a statement. "Immigration benefits -- including to live and work in the United States -- remain a privilege, not a right." The US Immigration and Nationality Act, which dates back to 1952, defines anti-Americanism which at the time primarily focused on communists. But the Trump administration has already moved aggressively to deny or rescind short-term visas for people deemed to go against US foreign policy interests, especially on Israel. The latest guidance on immigration decisions said that authorities will also look at whether applicants "promote anti-Semitic ideologies." The Trump administration has accused students and universities of anti-Semitism over protests against Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip, charges denied by many of the activists. The State Department said Monday that it has revoked 6,000 student visas since Secretary of State Marco Rubio took office in January.

White House Press Sec Slams Media Coverage Against Trump On Russia-UkraineTalks
Last Updated: Leavitt accused several left-leaning media outlets of deliberately downplaying or misrepresenting the administration's efforts. The White House held a media briefing on Tuesday, during which Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed developments in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine peace talks. She also used the opportunity to defend US President Donald Trump, who has taken center stage in efforts to mediate an end to the conflict between the two nations. Leavitt opened her remarks by commending the president's recent diplomatic engagements. 'What we've witnessed President Trump accomplish over the last few days is nothing short of remarkable," she stated. She went on to criticise what she described as 'negative and downright false coverage of President Trump and his foreign policy accomplishments," referring specifically to recent media reporting on the president's involvement in the peace process. Leavitt accused several left-leaning media outlets of deliberately downplaying or misrepresenting the administration's efforts. She said such outlets have been 'rooting against President Trump" and portraying his outreach to Russian President Vladimir Putin in a negative light. One of the specific criticisms addressed involved Trump's decision to formally welcome Putin during a recent diplomatic engagement. Leavitt defended the gesture, saying it followed standard diplomatic protocol, and added that the president would have done the same for any world leader. The press secretary also clarified the purpose of the Alaska meeting between Trump and Putin, which some reports claimed produced no substantial outcomes. Leavitt stated that the meeting had been framed in advance as a 'listening exercise" for President Trump, with no expectations of immediate agreements or deliverables. During the briefing, Leavitt also addressed questions regarding the potential deployment of US troops to Ukraine. She reiterated the administration's position by stating, 'The President has definitively stated US boots will NOT be on the ground in Ukraine, but we can certainly help in the coordination and perhaps provide other means of security guarantees to our European allies." Following the media session, Vice President JD Vance expressed support for Leavitt on social media, writing, 'Karoline Leavitt lighting the American media up for lying about our negotiations with Russia and Ukraine."

Although no agreement has been finalised, the administration continues its efforts to bring both parties to the table for direct talks aimed at ending the conflict. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Jaishankar lands in Moscow, to meet Lavrov, First Dy PM Manturov
EXTERNAL AFFAIRS Minister S Jaishankar is set to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and First Deputy PM Denis Manturov in Moscow, as he landed in Moscow on Tuesday. The visit comes days after Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and briefed him about his meeting with US President Donald Trump in Alaska on the Russia-Ukraine war. The phone call between Modi and Putin – their second conversation in 10 days – was significant in the backdrop of the tension in ties with the US after Trump doubled the tariff on India over its purchase of Russian oil. On August 8, Modi and Putin held a phone conversation during which they discussed 'the latest developments on Ukraine' and reaffirmed their 'commitment to further deepen the India-Russia Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership'. The Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement, 'At the invitation of First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov, the External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, will undertake an official visit to Russia on 19-21 August 2025 to co-chair the 26th Session of the India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation (IRIGC-TEC) scheduled for 20 August 2025.' He will also address the India-Russia Business Forum meeting in Moscow. During the visit, the External Affairs Minister will meet Lavrov and 'review the bilateral agenda and share perspective on regional and global issues'. It said that the visit aims to further 'strengthen the longstanding and time-tested India-Russia Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership'. The timing of the visit is important at a time when the India-Russia ties have been the focus of the Trump administration. The US administration, led by US President Donald Trump, has imposed 25 per cent tariffs as penalty on India for buying Russian oil. Earlier this month, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval also travelled to Moscow and met Putin. Senior American officials, including Peter Navarro, who is White House advisor on trade, and Cabinet ministers, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have attacked India for buying Russian oil. While India is hoping for a reprieve from the Trump administration after the Alaska summit, its outreach to Moscow needs to be seen in the context of its multi-alignment policy and its legacy defence partnership. New Delhi views Moscow as a robust and reliable partner, in the face of uncertainties faced from the US and assertiveness from China. And that has been the foundation of Delhi's partnership with Russia over the decades. The two sides have maintained regular contact, and now Prime Minister Modi is likely to meet President Putin on the sidelines of the SCO leaders' summit in Tianjin in China from August 31 to September 1. Sources said there are also discussions for a visit by Russian President Putin to India later this year.
