The Indian native was driving a semi while under the influence.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged an arrest detainer for an illegal immigrant in California who caused a fatal collision as he failed to stop or slow his tractor-trailer down as he approached slow-moving traffic. The driver, a native of India who obtained a commercial driver’s license from the state of California, was found to be driving under the influence of drugs, according to the state highway patrol.
“It is a terrible tragedy three innocent people lost their lives due to the reckless open border policies that allowed an illegal alien to be released into the U.S. and drive an 18-wheeler on America’s highways,” said Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “This accident follows a disturbing trend of illegal aliens driving 18-wheelers and semi-trucks on America’s roads.“
She continued, “Earlier this week, DHS highlighted another fatal accident in Indiana caused by an illegal alien driving a semi-truck. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is working day-in and day-out to make America’s roads safe again.“
U.S. Transportation Secretary Duffy stated, “This is exactly why [the U.S. Department of Transportation] has withheld $40 MILLION from California for failure to comply with our rules to protect drivers. We cannot allow our roads to be a dangerous place!“
The man was allowed into the U.S. in 2022 under President Biden’s “alternatives to detention“ program.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Noem and Assistant Secretary McLaughlin as they work to prevent illegal aliens from driving commercial trucks in the U.S.
- For Secretary Duffy as he seeks to ensure road safety compliance across the U.S.
- For state officials to be prudent in their issuance and renewal of CDL’s and other licenses.
