It wasn't our usual story about atrocious truck driving and/or drug smuggling. The perps were accused of kidnapping and attempted murder. But there are still plenty of dangerous truck drivers out there, graduates of the infamous Singh School of Truck Driving.
One such is Kamalpreet Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, accused of killing a father of two in a horrific crash on December 11th. Mr Singh has now been released on bail by the woke authorities of Washington state.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer for Mr Singh following his arrest after it was found he was in the country illegally. But that didn't matter to the Washington wokesters, who refused to honour the order. Poor Mr Singh was somehow able to raise $100,00 [not drug $$$, shurely. Ed.] to post bond, and was released from King County jail on Friday last.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a scathing press release Tuesday slamming the move, saying "Washington politicians chose to release this public safety threat back onto America’s roads." DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told the Daily Caller that she was dismayed by the move, saying that "these demented and dangerous sanctuary policies have deadly consequences.... How many more Americans have to be killed before Democrat politicians start to put the public’s safety ahead of politics?"
But hey, Washington is a sanctuary state, where poor refugees, asylum-seekers and simple illegals are safe from federal immigration authorities. Officials said Singh entered the US of A illegally in 2023 at Lukeville AZ, but was, as Ms McLaughlin said, "'released into this country by the Biden administration."
A spokesthingy for the Washington State Patrol confirmed to the Daily Caller that Singh was driving with a commercial driver's licence issued by California. Just like Harjinder Singh, the asylum-seeker accused of killing three people in Florida in August when he made an illegal U-turn while also on the roads illegally.
Harjinder Singh is no relation to Kamalpreet Singh. What they share is fellowship in the Sikh religion, as well as a lack of English skills. He was unable to read street signs, but was handed a driver's license by California anyway.
It is illegal for undocumented immigrants to obtain a commercial driver's licence, but a federal government investigation found earlier this year that California had unlawfully issued 17,000 commercial driver's licences to migrants.
Commenting on the latest outrage, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that President Trump and Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy "will aggressively enforce our laws to protect the safety of American truckers, drivers, and passengers by ensuring anyone behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle is here legally, properly qualified, and proficient in our national language - English!'"
Mr Duffy threatened to withhold federal funding for highways in Blue states if they refused to respect and enforce the law. "If we’re going to have drivers on American roadways, they need to be the best trained…because if operated incorrectly or inappropriately, these [vehicles] are lethal weapons on American roadways," the Secretary said in a press conference.
He added, "We will pull every dollar possible from every single state that’s unwilling to work with this administration and these longstanding rules to make sure that when [an] American family gets in a car, they shouldn't be worried that they have an unqualified foreigner operating an 80,000-pound big rig that could endanger their lives."
