An Indian politician, Harsimrat Kaur Badal, urges New Delhi to oppose an alleged U.S. crackdown on Indian truck drivers after a fatal Florida Turnpike U-turn linked to driver Harjinder Singh. The piece highlights diplomatic appeals, a large petition, and claims of widespread use of B-1/B-2 visas in trucking as U.S. officials weigh tougher enforcement, visa limits, and language proficiency rules. The story connects to ICE detainers, FMCSA probes of noncitizen CDLs, and a reported pause on commercial trucker visas, signaling an escalating enforcement pattern with cross-border political fallout.
