Singh Sukhdeep received is commercial driver's license in May 2025. He was caught crossing the U.S. border in 2018, but released. He was a minor at the time of the crossing.

"This tragedy comes less than two weeks after another illegal alien driving a semi-truck killed four innocent people in Indiana," DHS told Fox News. "It is incredibly dangerous for illegal aliens, who often don’t know our traffic laws or even English, to be operating semi-trucks on America’s roads. These tragedies are 100% preventable and we pray for the family and victim."

How else are we going to watch line go up if we don’t outsource labor to illiterate illegals who will work for cheaper?

The result of the decree was that children who crossed the border illegally were to be released to a parent or adult relative rather than being detained.

The Trump administration moved to abolish the Clinton-era policy in 2019, the year after Sukhdeep crossed the border.

The crash comes about two weeks after Bekzhan Beishekeev, an illegal alien truck driver from Kazakhstan, allegedly killed four people in another crash in Indiana. He entered the U.S. in 2023 using the Biden-era CBP One app and was released into the country. He was later issued a CDL in Pennsylvania.
