FORT PIERCE, Florida – A petition supporting an illegal alien truck driver who allegedly killed three people in Florida has collected nearly 2.5 million signatures as of Sunday.
Harjinder Singh, 28, faces up to 45 years behind bars on three charges of vehicular homicide for pulling an illegal U-Turn on Florida’s Turnpike in St. Lucie County Aug. 12, as a family crashed into his tractor trailer.
“We, the undersigned, urge Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Board of Executive Clemency to re-examine and reduce the sentence for a 28-year-old truck driver involved in a fatal U-turn crash on Florida’s Turnpike in South Florida,” the petition reads.
“This was a tragic accident – not a deliberate act. While accountability matters, the severity of the charges against him does not align with the circumstances of the incident.”
NEW: The petition to ‘free’ the illegal immigrant who made an illegal U-Turn, taking the lives of three Americans, nears 2.5 million signatures.
One supporter suggested that the crash was the fault of the victims, and authorities should check the car’s “black box.”

Singh has not faced trial yet, let alone being sentenced. He initially fled to California, the state which issued him a commercial driving license, but has since been hauled back to the Sunshine State.
Many of those supporting Singh appear to be Indian nationals.
“It was an accident. he made a terrible mistake, not a deliberate choice to harm anyone,” wrote Marvi in Sydney, Australia. “He was working hard to support his family, like so many of us, and one wrong decision changed everything. A 45-year prison sentence is not justice.”
Another supporter named Lovepreet in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, wrote: “45 yrs of imprisonment?? is it fair for a young boy who left his home country to have bright future ,support family ??? NO … it was mistake not intentional … this kind of sentence is a result of racial discrimination where comments were made that driver had no remorse, he didn’t show emotions after he saw that accident but the TRUTH is he was in shock, devastated.. his whole life was shattering in front of his eyes.”
But there’s plenty of opposition to the petition and Singh supporters.
“I will never forget this moment,” said Elizabeth Farah, co-founder of WorldNetDaily and host of “The Elizabeth Farah Show” on Rumble.
“This was no mistake. He and his employer must face the harshest penalty. The woman employing him is Indian. She has dozens of businesses. She has a record hiring unqualified illegals before. She has opened and closed multiple trucking companies. This is mass migration; this is cultural. The strength of caste is overwhelming. Justice is meaningless, caste is everything. This is un-American.”
This. I don’t know what could be more revealing; thank you.
I will never forget this moment. Over 1.65 Million Indians (presumably), show their support to their fellow Indian, because he is Indian. The dead American’s lives are meaningless. This was no mistake. He and his… https://t.co/ntyn29aJ2c

Others indicate:
“Deport all of the people who signed this petition. And if they’re already in foreign countries, ban them from the U.S.”
“If anything this petition should make the punishment more severe.”
“I bet that petition would make a fantastic deportation list.”

Harjinder Singh, in the U.S illegally since 2018, casually pulled a tractor-trailer into an “official use only” median on Florida’s Turnpike – blocking every oncoming lane with zero warning.

Illegal Indian trucker Harjinder Singh killed a Florida family of three in an illegal U-turn.
Singh, who crossed the border in 2018, still got a CDL from California. He now faces homicide charges and deportation.
