Both states have come under scrutiny for issuing licenses to someone with repeated test failures and limited English proficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Singh is accused of causing a fatal crash in Fort Pierce, Florida, on August 12, 2025, when his 18-wheeler jackknifed during an illegal U-turn.<\/p>\n<p>The crash resulted in the deaths of three Haitian migrants traveling in a van that collided with Singh\u2019s semi-truck.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators with the Florida Attorney General\u2019s office confirmed Singh failed his CDL knowledge exam 10 times between March 10 and May 5, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>He also failed the air brakes knowledge exam twice, a critical portion of the CDL test for safely operating large commercial vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Bodycam footage from a July traffic stop in New Mexico shows Singh struggling to communicate in English, highlighting serious safety concerns for anyone operating heavy machinery on U.S. roads.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these repeated failures, Singh was still issued his first CDL in Washington state, raising questions about the enforcement of federal safety standards.<\/p>\n<p>California later issued Singh another CDL, even though the state has long resisted enforcing federal English language requirements for commercial drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy emphasized the problem, stating that many big-rig drivers fail to meet English proficiency standards, posing risks to American families.<\/p>\n<p>Duffy added that California is the only state refusing to ensure drivers can read road signs and communicate with law enforcement, calling it a \u201cfundamental safety issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Florida Attorney General\u2019s office has filed a lawsuit against California and Washington in the Supreme Court, seeking to prevent the states from issuing CDLs to illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit argues that both states failed to comply with federal immigration and safety standards, creating a public safety hazard.<\/p>\n<p>The crash highlights broader concerns over federal and state policies that allow illegal immigrants to operate commercial vehicles despite limited English skills.<\/p>\n<p>Singh\u2019s history shows a disturbing pattern: repeated test failures, limited comprehension, and eventual licensing in sanctuary states that prioritize politics over safety.<\/p>\n<p>Officials investigating the wreck confirmed Singh had difficulty with English and road sign tests, yet licensing authorities approved him to drive commercially.<\/p>\n<p>Critics argue the Biden administration\u2019s policies and sanctuary state practices contribute to unsafe conditions on American highways.<\/p>\n<p>The fatal crash has become a focal point for debates over immigration enforcement and CDL licensing, particularly in states that resist federal oversight.<\/p>\n<p>Singh\u2019s case is part of a broader pattern where sanctuary policies and lenient enforcement undermine public safety and place American lives at risk.<\/p>\n<p>The Florida AG\u2019s lawsuit aims to hold states accountable for putting unqualified drivers on the road, emphasizing the importance of English proficiency and proper testing.<\/p>\n<p>Singh\u2019s alleged actions \u2014 making an illegal U-turn that caused three deaths \u2014 underscore the real-world consequences of policy failures in licensing and immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Officials also revealed that Singh struggled with English even during training sessions at a Washington-based CDL school, further questioning the effectiveness of these programs.<\/p>\n<p>The public safety community is calling for stricter oversight of CDL issuance and federal enforcement of English proficiency requirements for drivers.<\/p>\n<p>The case also reignites concerns about how illegal immigrants are granted work permits and access to safety-sensitive roles, despite repeated evidence of incompetence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Illegal immigrant Harjinder Singh, who allegedly entered the United States illegally in 2018, failed his commercial driver\u2019s
