The US government is responding to a fatal accident in Florida involving a truck driven by an individual who had entered the country illegally. The accident prompted the Department of Homeland Security to intervene and announce that the driver, Harjinder Singh, had been denied a work permit during the Trump administration but was granted one under the Biden administration. Singh will face a trial for his actions and subsequently be deported.
The incident has led to a halt in worker visas for commercial truck drivers. This decision was made by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
