Florida Lt. Gov. Collins Retrieves Trucker Who Crossed Border Illegally After Fatal Crash, Blames Newsom’s Sanctuary/CDL Policies

Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins flew to California to retrieve Harjinder Singh, an alleged undocumented truck driver accused in a Florida Turnpike crash that killed three people, and publicly blamed Gov. Gavin Newsom and California’s sanctuary and CDL policies. Newsom’s office countered that California police made the arrest and pushed back on Florida’s claims, intensifying a partisan clash over interstate responsibility for immigration enforcement and commercial licensing. The case is now a national flashpoint over policy, public safety, and post-arrest custody that could involve ICE after state proceedings.
