A truck driver has been charged in connection with a fatal eight-vehicle crash on Interstate 10 in Ontario, California. The trucker was identified as Jashanpreet Singh, a 21-year-old illegal immigrant from India who crossed into the United States through the southern border. Border Patrol first encountered him in the El Centro area in March 2022, but under former President Joe Biden’s “alternatives to detention” program, he was released into the country pending an immigration hearing, according to federal officials. The crash that killed at least three people was caught on dashcam video on Tuesday. Singh’s big rig slammed into slow...

See the old man with the kindly eyes? There’s nothing kindly about them. And there’s nothing kind about what’s waiting for you and your family out on the highways. Just listen: On November 8, 1994 there was a light drizzle and fog on the Illinois expressways and up into Wisconsin. It was fall. Temperatures were in the 40s. Now think of the Willis family packed into the family van, six kids and parents on the expressway near Milwaukee. The father, my friend Scott Willis, a Christian pastor from Mt. Greenwood, was driving. His wife Janet was in the seat next...

Federal immigration authorities made mass arrests of illegal migrant truck drivers along a single highway during a two-day operation in Oklahoma. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), working alongside the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, nabbed 70 illegal migrants along the I-40 interstate in late October, including 34 who were operating big-rig trucks in violation of state law, according to the agency. The massive bust follows an ongoing crackdown by the Trump administration against illegal migrant truck drivers. “For the second time in just the past month, the state of Oklahoma and ICE have banded together to bolster public safety along Oklahoma’s highways,...

WASHINGTON — In a press conference on Thursday, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Sean Duffy unveiled an aggressive new initiative targeting so-called “CDL mills” — commercial driver’s license schools accused of certifying unqualified drivers, many of whom lack English proficiency, basic operating skills, and proper citizenship documentation. The move comes as part of a broader effort to enhance road safety in the trucking industry, where accidents involving big rigs have raised alarms about driver qualifications. This crackdown addresses a longstanding issue exacerbated by a 2022 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulatory change that allowed self-certification for CDL trainers,...

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Thursday that 146 illegal immigrant drivers have been arrested by authorities, including drivers of semi trucks. Illegal immigrant semi truck drivers have made headlines in recent months after causing crashes that have resulted in deaths on the nation’s highways. Noem said, "233 illegal aliens have been arrested and taken off our roads. Of those, 146 of them were drivers. That includes 46 semi-truck drivers and 82 of them that were either box trucks, buses, moving vans, vehicles such as that." The arrests came as part of a partnership with Indiana State...

A near-naked California trucker, who doesn't speak English, was confronted by Arkansas police and TESTED on his ability to read BASIC traffic signs. He FAILED. Gavin Newsom is responsible for this.

In what later became a public example of the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office’s new immigration enforcement powers, the agency arrested a pair of undocumented truck drivers Tuesday, one operating with a license that was suspended because of a DUI after the driver reportedly bypassed a Wyoming Port of Entry. That driver originated from Venezuela and was going 17 mph over the speed limit while evading inspection, Laramie Sheriff Brian Kozak said in a Tuesday social media video discussing the arrest. That driver had no commercial driver’s license and was driving on a Colorado operating license, which was suspended due to...

For years, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) has relentlessly pushed the narrative of a catastrophic truck driver shortage—60,000 positions unfilled, supply chains teetering on collapse—to manipulate policy and flood the market with cheap, underqualified labor. This fabricated crisis wasn’t about solving real problems; it was a tool to lower standards, suppress wages, and prioritize big carriers over safety and sustainability. But in a stunning reversal at their 2025 Management Conference, the ATA executed a hard pivot, ditching the blanket shortage claim and reframing it as a “shortage of quality drivers.”

My gosh, this is hilarious...well, it would be if foreign truck drivers weren't killing people.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom violated federal law by upgrading the driver’s license of the illegal migrant trucker accused of causing a horrific, drug-fueled pile-up that killed three people and wounded several others, a bombshell new report claims. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed Newsom for Tuesday’s deadly crash, alleging state officials unlawfully upgraded Jashanpreet Singh’s commercial license weeks after a new federal rule went into effect barring illegal immigrants from holding such privileges, according to a DOT report released Friday. The restrictions, which require states to verify an applicant’s legal status, took effect on Sept. 26 — while the 21-year-old Indian...

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, fiercely criticized Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom and the Biden administration’s immigration policies on Friday, claiming they directly enabled a deadly multi-vehicle crash in California. During an appearance on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show,” Miller focused on the case of Jashanpreet Singh, a 21-year-old Indian national living illegally in the U.S., who triggered a fatal highway wreck that left three people dead. A Department of Transportation (DOT) probe revealed Singh had maintained and even upgraded his commercial driver’s license (CDL) just days before the alleged drug-fueled incident in Ontario, California. Miller...

johnny maga @_johnnymaga The CEO of the “North American Punjabi Trucking Association” fears some of his drivers will quit trucking, as they’re “not feeling safe” amid political backlash in the aftermath of two horrific deadly crashes in recent weeks. I wish I was making this up.

End Wokeness @EndWokeness Jaw dropping. CA Governor Newsom gave 62,000 CDL commercial driver licenses to illegals

The White House has slammed the state of California for issuing a commercial vehicle licence to a "criminal illegal alien", after an undocumented Indian-origin truck driver, Jashanpreet Singh, caused a deadly eight-vehicle crash in Ontario, killing three people. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also highlighted what she called a "disturbing pattern" of commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) being issued to illegal immigrants in the United States. "I can confirm that California gave this individual a licence, and it is something that the Department of Transportation has already looked into... He killed three people, and he first entered the United States...

Two national public employee unions sued the Trump administration over its restrictions preventing illegal immigrants from obtaining commercial drivers licenses. The American Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees filed a petition for review against the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The employee unions challenged a rule implemented by Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy restricting foreign individuals from receiving commercial drivers licenses. Commercial drivers licenses are used for operating large vehicles such as tractor-trailers and buses. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia allow unauthorized immigrants to receive commercial drivers licenses. In California,...

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Gavin Newsom's California gave 62,000 CDL PERMITS to illegal aliens and migrants to drive commercial vehicles. This is an outrage. "The federal audit found California issued 62,000 CDLs drivers who entered illegally, who do not have a permanent legal status, as required by the feds." "California sanctuary laws prohibit asking applicants their immigration status...Governor Newsom said there's not a problem." Gavin Newsom is DERELICT. This is endangering millions of Americans, DAILY. VIDEO AT LINK.....................

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WBOY) — A law firm representing the family of Kevin Lataille is filing a federal lawsuit against the driver of the tractor-trailer that crashed into Lataille’s vehicle on Jan. 19, causing it to go into Cheat Lake, alleging the driver knowingly did not report the fatal collision. The Monongalia County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday that a warrant has been issued for the driver, Sukhjinder Singh, of New York, for negligent homicide. Investigators said Singh was driving recklessly in a snowstorm when he hit Lataille’s vehicle, and that it led to Lataille’s death. Deputies said in a press release...

A trucker for a company called "Sandhu," a common Punjabi name in India among Sikhs, killed three people in Ontario, California, after barreling into a line of stopped traffic. The 21-year-old driver was reportedly on drugs at the time of the crash. [Warning: Graphic] VIDEO AT LINK.................. The reason we have to emphasize that this man was driving for a company with a Punjabi logo is because California authorities won't release any details about the man. The 21 year old driver of this big rig slammed full speed into several vehicles, killing three and injuring several others on a California...
