"The FEDERAL government approved and renewed this individual’s FEDERAL employment authorization multiple times..."
In the wake of an illegal immigrant being charged with causing a semi truck accident in Southern California while intoxicated that resulted in the deaths of three people, California Governor Gavin Newsom has claimed that the blame for the illegal immigrant being able to be a commercial truck driver is the Trump administration’s fault, despite admitting that the illegal immigrant had a California CDL.
Newsom told Fox News in a statement, "This is a tragic situation. And as with every tragedy over the last ten months, Secretary Noem has ordered Secretary Duffy to look for every opportunity to manipulate the facts to score cheap political points, but the FEDERAL government needs to look within before they can cast blame outside.
"The FEDERAL government approved and renewed this individual’s FEDERAL employment authorization multiple times—which allowed him to obtain a commercial driver’s license in accordance with FEDERAL law."
An official with the California State Transportation Agency told Melugin that Singh’s California CDL is a federal REAL ID, adding "California followed all federal and state laws in reviewing and granting Mr. Jashanpreet Singh a California commercial driver's license."
Suspect Jashanpreet Singh, an Indian national, was first apprehended by Border Patrol in the El Centro Sector of California in March of 2022. Singh was released into the US pending an immigration hearing.
Fox News’ Bill Melugin noted, "This work permit would have been approved by the Biden administration, as illegal aliens can apply for work authorization 6 months after making their asylum claims."
Video showed the moment the truck plowed into slow-moving vehicles on Interstate 10 in San Bernardino County, causing a fiery chain-reaction crash.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said of the crash, "This is exactly why USDOT 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!"
