January 1, Illegal Truck Driver’s Petition Sparks Outrage

Wyatt’s Take

• Nationwide petition calls for leniency for an illegal truck driver in a fatal Florida crash.
• Court denies bond, highlighting public safety risks tied to illegal immigration.
• Politicians act as Americans demand accountability from foreign drivers.

Millions are backing a petition to show mercy for Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant trucker blamed for killing three in a crash. The petition urges Governor Ron DeSantis and the clemency board to review the case, as Singh faces serious felony charges.

Officials said Singh, 28, performed an illegal U-turn with his semi on Florida’s Turnpike, causing a deadly wreck. Authorities report he and his brother tried to flee out of state after the crash before U.S. Marshals caught them in California.

On Saturday, a Florida judge refused Singh’s bond, listing him as a flight risk and finding probable cause for all felony counts. ICE arrested Singh’s brother while state leaders took swift action to bring Singh to justice.

The petition, signed by “Collective Punjabi youth,” says,

“This was a tragic accident — not a deliberate act.”

They argue the penalties are too harsh, asking for lighter sentencing and options like parole or community service.

Soon after, Florida officials and federal authorities clamped down on hiring foreign commercial drivers. Secretary Marco Rubio announced a halt to work visas for foreign truckers, gaining support from conservatives who want stronger border enforcement.

The facts are clear — border security and accountability must come first for Americans’ safety. Keep up with the latest by following the full story below.
