TAMPA, Fla. — During a press conference on Thursday in Tampa alongside Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister who announced the dismantling of a diesel theft ring, Attorney General James Uthmeier announced legal action tied to a separate case involving a fatal semi-truck crash “caused by an illegal alien licensed in another state,” according to a release from the AG’s office.
Ulthmeier said his office has issued a criminal subpoena to the Ceres, California-based company White Hawk Carriers, who is the employer of Harjinder Singh.
Ulthmeier said his office also issued legal demands to California and Washington for their role in issuing the commercial driver’s license, according to a press release from the Florida AG’s office.
Uthmeir also announced on Aug. 25 that Florida’s agricultural law enforcement and state police are now using the state’s agricultural inspection stations (also known as interdiction stations) as “strongholds of immigration enforcement.”
“States like California and Washington ignored the rules, gave an illegal alien a license to drive a 40-ton truck, and three people are dead as a result. (This was a) preventable tragedy due to sanctuary state policies,” Uthmeier said.
Singh is facing three counts of vehicular homicide in Florida after he allegedly made an illegal U-turn that caused a crash tha killed three people.
On August 12, 2025, Harjinder Singh, allegedly made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce in St. Lucie County. His trailer jackknifed, blocking the northbound lanes, leading to a collision with a minivan, killing all three people inside. Singh, who faces three manslaughter charges and three counts of vehicular homicide, was extradited to the St. Lucie County Jail and denied bond. He faces up to 90 years in prison before deportation.

NOW yer talk’n
Exactly!
BTTT
You want to stop this? Have ICE people at every weigh station and inspection station. A commercial driver who can’t speak English gets grabbed, and his truck impounded.
Real quick, companies will decide that cheap illegals are too expensive.
It’s impossible that the company didn’t notice the guy spoke no English.
Who are the officers of White Hawk Carriers, Inc.
^THAT^ is who needs to be prosecuted and jailed for a host of laws, including assessory to murder. Spit.
“I am 100% for booting all illegal aliens out of the country”
Agree. I’m even at the point where we need to boot even legal aliens out of the country unless they’re fully competent in English. Oh ... and they can take the flags of their fatherlands and shove them where the sun don’t shine.
“he should NOT have been driving a commercial truck”
He shouldn’t be driving ANY motorized vehicle without passing an English Proficiency Test. You can drive a Miata and kill people if you don’t know what a sign says.
8 USC Sec 1324
(A)Any person who, during any 12-month period, knowingly hires for employment at least 10 individuals with actual knowledge that the individuals are aliens described in subparagraph (B) shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both.
(B)An alien described in this subparagraph is an alien who—(i)is an unauthorized alien (as defined in section 1324a(h)(3) of this title), and
(ii)has been brought into the United States in violation of this subsection.

“Florida seems to be leading the way in a lot of things lately.”
Right. Although I’m not a fan of nepo politicians, if I were a FL resident, I’d seriously consider voting for Casey DeSantis for Governor just to continue with the wins. In that case, I’d hope that she’d be the puppet and RD the puppet master.
Recently, it was reported about how illegals are cheating to pass their tests.
The more I hear about this, the more timid I am about being on freeways. You just don’t know who’s right there next to you.
There were thousands of Indiana who signed a petition to go lightly on Singe. Well, a rope around the neck is reasonably light.
I believe that state police have jurisdiction over the Interstate Highway System.
Are the Interstates actually Federal highways? If so, can’t Congress make laws to prohibit illegals from driving on them? (I guess PDJT could do a CO, but they’re only as good as the next POTUS.)
He shouldn’t be driving ANY motorized vehicle flunking an English Proficiency Test.
You can drive a Miata and kill people if you don’t know what a sign says.
Drive? Betcha he doesnt know how to do that, either.
The gubmint shouldn’t forget to check trucker competency at the US/Canada border crossings, too. The Sikhs have a lock on trucker licenses in Canada. I live in Washington and can attest to the fact the Canadian licensed truckers crossing the border are almost all wearing the unmistakable turban. I have no idea if Canada requires English competency, but would be willing to bet they don’t. Thanks to British colonialism, there is virtually no limits on Indian immigration in Canada. They don’t have to be illegal to be a danger to everyone who is forced to share the roads with them.
I always thought it was the easiest way to target the illegal flood.
Fine the 💩out of their employers. Use the money to help pay for the wall
Speaking of which…how is the wall going?
“prosecute those employers who knowingly are employing illegal labor”
And taking jobs from Americans.......that should be against the law.
These illegal Indian...and other aliens... get commercial drivers licenses without
passing the test, apparently by cheating......AND paying off people at the DMV.
Well, they certainly dont get American jobs w/ stolen
drivers licenses b/c they wear “cute” turbans........../s.
