DHS slams Gavin Newsom for falsely claiming illegal immigrant trucker who killed 3 in Florida was granted work permit by Trump admin

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office is under fire after claiming that under the first Trump administration, illegal immigrant Harjinder Singh, who has been charged with vehicular manslaughter after making a U-turn on a Florida highway, was granted a work authorization.

Newsom’s press office wrote on Monday, "Hey, Commander Cosplay: the federal government (YOU) already confirmed that this guy meets federal and state immigration requirements -- YOU issued him a work permit (EAD). Oops. As usual, you are either lying or clueless."

......

DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin wrote in response to Newsom’s press office, "False. Harjinder Singh is in the United States illegally and his work authorization was rejected under the Trump Administration on September 14, 2020. It was later approved under the Biden Administration June 9, 2021. The state of California issues Commercial Drivers Licenses. There is no national CDL. Sincerely, Genius."

I wish these responses would start including little jabs when dates are used like “before [or after] the 2020 election was stolen”.

Driving in India is suicide. 200,000 people a year are killed by traffic accidents. If you ever seen a video of it, its insanity.

Here you go......

Once again, Gruesome Newsom and his lackeys demonstrate that all of them are lying sacks of s—t. Without a doubt, the most corrupt and incompetent governor since California became a state.

Well he is, after all, auditioning to be the next democrat presidential nominee. He has to prove he’s up to the task and lying is the most important requirement.

He keeps on barbing Trump about things that Trump has nothing to do with. This is one, redistricting is another.

Obviously Newsom thinks he will become leader of the Dem party and will be their next nominee.

Hopefully the Dems can come up with someone who is sane instead.

The commercial drivers license was given by the state of California..so NewSCUM can go suck a lemon..yes the murdering schmuck did come here under Trump I concede that, but he would NOT have been able to kill anyone had he not been given that drivers license to give him a vehicle that allowed him to kill..also since NewSCUM loves bringing up being responsible for people’s deaths, lets talk about how many people were killed during the Palisades/AltaDena fires, their blood is on HIS hands!

Just like a demoncRAT to detract from his own guiltiness and blame others for his own faults.

During FMCSA’s interview with the driver, investigators administered an English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessment in accordance with FMCSA guidance. The driver failed the assessment, providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying 1 of 4 highway traffic signs.

“If states had followed the rules, this driver would never have been behind the wheel and three precious lives would still be with us. This crash was a preventable tragedy directly caused by reckless decisions and compounded by despicable failures. Non-enforcement and radical immigration policies have turned the trucking industry into a lawless frontier, resulting in unqualified foreign drivers improperly acquiring licenses to operate 40-ton vehicles,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. “We will use every tool at our disposal to hold these states and bad actors accountable. President Trump and I will restore safety to our roads. The families of the deceased deserve justice.”
