On August 12, just south of the St. Lucie County north border in southern Florida, a collision occurred when a semi tractor-trailer made an unauthorized U-turn. The crash with an oncoming black 2015 Chrysler Town & Country van killed all three occupants, “a 30-year-old Florida City man, a 37-year-old Pompano Beach woman and a 54-year-old Miami man,” according to TC Palm.

The large truck, which was hauling a box trailer, was in the outside lane and attempted a U-turn into an “official use only” area along the turnpike, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. As the semi tractor-trailer crossed “over all northbound travel lanes” to make the U-turn on the access road, the agency said the minivan, which was in the inside lane, was “unable to avoid” it and collided with and became wedged under the left side of the trailer.

“Harjinder Singh, 35, was arrested after the collision near Fort Pierce on the Florida Turnpike on August 12 after he tried to turn his tractor-trailer through an ‘unauthorized location,’ the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) said. Singh entered the United States illegally when he crossed the southern border in 2018, the FLHSMV said,” Newsweek reported.

Singh had “entered the country illegally and obtained a commercial driver’s license in California,” Fox News reported.

California Democrat governor Gavin Newsom, who has called President Trump “unhinged,” claimed that Trump’s nickname for him, “Gavin Newscum,” “triggers” him,  and also apparently has trouble distinguishing between the Border Patrol and ICE agents, signed AB 1766 into law in September 2022, extending the ability for illegal immigrants to obtain state IDs even if they don’t drive. His office stated, “Undocumented Californians will be able to obtain a State ID, a critical step for inclusion and meaningful participation in our communities and economy.”

That extension followed the signing of AB 60, known as the Safe and Responsible Driver Act, which was passed in 2013 under Governor Jerry Brown and allowed illegal immigrants to obtain a driver’s license. Newsom consistently supported the legislation, never making an effort to revoke it as governor, and then extended the law with AB 1766.

In June, Newsom filed a lawsuit against Trump for federalizing and deploying the California National Guard to deal with protests against Trump’s immigration polices, claiming the Trump administration did not “believe in the rule of law.”
