CONFIRMED: California issued CDL to truck driver charged with DUI

The White House Press Secretary has confirmed that California issued a CDL to the truck driver in a recent fatal DUI crash in the state.

21-year-old truck driver Jashanpreet Singh is currently in custody for gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. He has also been placed on an immigration detainer by ICE after entering the country illegally back in 2022.

“I can confirm that California gave this individual a license, and it is something that the Department of Transportation has already looked into,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News. “I know Secretary Duffy, who’s doing a phenomenal job, has spoken on this many times in the crackdown that the Department of Transportation is taking on these licenses that are wrongfully being issued to people who clearly do not deserve to uphold these positions.”

“He was released into our country by the previous administration…. These tragedies are following a disturbing pattern of these criminal illegal aliens being issued commercial vehicle licenses.”
