Legal Proceedings and Immigration Status
A Florida judge has refused bond for a truck driver accused of a collision last week that resulted in three fatalities. The driver faces three counts of vehicular homicide along with alleged immigration-related offenses.
Immigration Details of the Suspect
Federal officials from the Trump administration say the suspect is in the United States unlawfully. He is reportedly a native of India who held an employment authorization document and obtained a California commercial driver’s license.
Reactions to Licensing Decision
Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin sharply criticized the licensing decision, calling the issuance of a commercial license to someone living in the country illegally "asinine."
Ongoing Investigation
The investigation and court proceedings are ongoing as authorities continue to review the circumstances of the crash and the defendant’s immigration status.
