In a case that has rattled Florida and drawn national outrage, Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien truck driver from Punjab, India, is now facing serious charges after causing a horrific crash that left three Americans dead. Singh made an illegal U-turn on Florida’s Turnpike near Fort Pierce, a reckless decision that led to the deadly collision.
Singh had received his Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in California, a sanctuary state run by Democrats where leniency toward illegal aliens is more of a policy than an exception. It turns out Singh should never have been behind the wheel in the first place. According to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Singh failed English proficiency tests and could not read or comprehend basic road signs. Yet somehow, he was still granted a license to operate a massive commercial vehicle on American roads.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wasted no time. He dispatched Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins to extradite Singh back to Florida so that he could be held accountable under the state’s legal system. Singh is now facing three counts of vehicular homicide, each a second-degree felony. These charges carry a maximum sentence of 15 years per count, meaning Singh could spend up to 45 years behind bars if convicted. He also faces an additional manslaughter charge, further compounding his legal troubles.
Despite the gravity of the incident, more than 2.3 million people have signed a Change.org petition asking for Singh to be granted clemency. The petition absurdly frames the incident as a tragic accident and suggests that counseling and community service would be more appropriate than prison time. It reads like satire, but it’s real.
“We urge Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Board of Executive Clemency to re-examine and reduce the sentence,” the petition says, calling for what they describe as “restorative justice measures” instead of incarceration.
Some petitioners have even uploaded video messages to the site, praising Singh and pleading for compassion. Apparently, illegal status, failed qualifications, and the deaths of three innocent people now qualify as a misunderstanding worthy of leniency.
This isn’t just a tragic accident. It is a blatant failure of immigration enforcement, licensing oversight, and public safety. Three Americans are dead, and the only appropriate response is full accountability under the law. Compassion should never replace justice.
