The expert reveals how the illegal immigrant trucker may have obtained a commercial license

The questions are looming on how the illegal immigrant who would have killed three in a Florida truck accident obtained his commercial driving license.

Harjinder Singh is the suspect of the accident of Fort Pierce, and the officials said that he had not succeeded in English and on the way, according to officials.

Singh, which has entered illegally in the United States, received a complete commercial driving license in Washington in July 2023, although it was not legally authorized and received a term commercial driving license in California in 2024. The Ministry of Transport plans to comply with federal regulations.

Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center of the Heritage Foundation, explained how it could have happened in the first place.

“Just as the states provide driver’s licenses, they also emit licenses of commercial driver (CDL). States are not supposed to issue CDLs to a person unless they are an American citizen or a legal permanent resident (holder of the green card). There seems to be a label for a state to issue a CDL to Fox News Digital.

“Note that the Trump administration (45) denied Harjinder Singh’s work permit, but the Biden administration later granted its request.

Ries also made some suggestions, including movements that could be carried out at the federal level to prevent new tragedies.

“First, the federal government should fill this gap under its interstate trade clause and its federal permission. Backlogs, “added Ries.

Several states, such as California and Minnesota, allow the people of the country illegally to drive in some cases, but it is generally much more difficult when it comes to obtaining a commercial license.

A debate fell on X earlier this week between the Governor’s Press Office of California Gavin Newsom and the Ministry of Internal Security on how the question of the work permit took place.

“Why don’t you ask Trump about the driver’s work permit and when he entered this country?” Newsom spokesperson said in a statement. “Spoiler Alert: It was in 2018 under Trump – howls. It would have been eligible in any state. California followed federal law, which the president knows nothing.”

“In fact, the driver in this case was re -asserted an employment authorization (work permit) on 9/9/2025 and, if my calculations are correct, this is the current term term,” continued the press release.

“3 innocent people were killed in Florida because the DMV of Gavin Newsom in California delivered an illegal foreigner An commercial driving license,” she wrote on Monday on X. “This heartbreaking intestine tragedy should never have happened. My team at @Dhsgov will work with @usdot to root and prevent illegal extraterrestrials from obtaining these dismissals in conductive of the healthy solution.

In addition, the assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin and the Newsom press office had an exchange on X on Monday on the calendar.

“Hey, Engineering: The Federal Government (Admin Trump) has already confirmed that this type meets the requirements of federal and state immigration – you have issued a work permit (EAD). As usual, the Trump administration is either lie or distraught. PS (Grok), which was president in 2018?” The Newsom office tweeted in response to McLaughlin.

“False. Harjinder Singh is illegally in the United States and his work permit was rejected under the Trump administration on September 14, 2020,” said McLaughlin. “It was then approved as part of the Biden administration on June 9, 2021. The state of California issues commercial driver licenses. There is no national CDL.”
