A 21-year-old illegal immigrant from India who crossed the southern border in 2022 and was released by the Biden administration is now accused of causing a fiery semi-truck crash that killed three people in Southern California, multiple federal law enforcement sources tell Fox News.
According to federal sources, the suspect, identified as Jashanpreet Singh, was first encountered by Border Patrol agents in California's El Centro Sector in March 2022, and released into the interior of the country pending an immigration hearing.
Singh has now been arrested on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated after plowing his big rig into slow-moving traffic on the I-10 Freeway in San Bernardino County.
The crash, caught on dashcam video, left at least three people dead and several injured.
Police say Singh never hit the brakes before slamming into the traffic jam, citing toxicology tests that confirmed impairment.
DHS sources confirm he is not in lawful immigration status, and that ICE has lodged an immigration detainer following his arrest.

Singh was released under the Biden administration's 2022 "alternatives to detention" policy, one of several instances Fox News has documented where illegal immigrants released pending hearings went on to commit a crime.
The incident is the latest involving illegal immigrant truck drivers in the US.
Harjinder Singh, who crossed the southern border illegally in 2018, obtained a commercial driver's license in California, and is accused of causing a crash in August in Fort Pierce, Florida, that killed three people.
Officials investigating the wreck said he failed English and road sign tests.

A statement released by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Oct. 15 points to a widespread issue among big rig drivers: inability to pass English language requirements.
"I put states on notice this summer: enforce the Trump Administration's English language requirements or the checks stop coming," Duffy said. "California is the only state in the nation that refuses to ensure big rig drivers can read our road signs and communicate with law enforcement. This is a fundamental safety issue that impacts you and your family on America's road."

The crash comes as the Trump administration announced last week that it would be withholding more than $40 million in federal highway safety funding from California for failing to comply with federal English language proficiency standards for truck drivers.

Three more people dead and several injured because of the Democrats immigration policy of allowing illegals to roam free in the US.
This is also another illegal that was given a CDL by California with fatal results.
How do the open borders, disband ice people sleep at night i wonder? They have an almost sociopathic lack of empathy for Americans.
How do slumlords sleep at night? How do medical insurance CEO's sleep at night? How do wife beaters sleep at night? How does anyone sleep at night?
Are people claiming slumlords are a good thing?
It's mind boggling how those calling for all that don't see the results and understand the consequences of what they are demanding.
When prompted
chatGPT said the following:
And that is supposed to justify those who aren't supposed to be in the country (illegal aliens) having obtained CDLs (against federal regulations - ILLEGALLY) how.
I wasn't attempting to justify legality.
I was pointing out that there is no good data to show that any driver is less capable than another based on country of origin, which goes against the basic premise of the article. In other words, I was showing why the pictures and hyperventilating about him being an immigrant are propaganda.
was showing why the pictures and hyperventilating about him being an immigrant are propaganda.
ifs “reasoning” like that is why Americans keep needlessly dying at the hands of illegal aliens.
Only if you totally ignore the second sentence.
No,the second sentence is exactly the sort of reasoning that leads to needless American deaths. It doesn't matter one bit if foreign drivers are just as capable as American drivers.
Hahahahaha. So no immigrant should get a license?
Your comments fucking crack me up. It is almost like you mean them.
Statistically speaking there has not been found a difference between foreign drivers and domestic drivers.Therefore, according to your argument, the only way to keep anyone from being killed by a foreign driver is to ban all foreign drivers.
That is what you are saying.
Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
The premise of the article is that because of an illegal was illegally given a CDL and 3 people are dead because of it.
You were trying to deflect.
No ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS should get a license. Especially a CDL.
So you agree that there would have been far less accidents, injuries and deaths if these illegals would not have been here in the first place.
