Petition Supporting Illegal Charged with U-Turn Deaths of 3 Hits Sickening Milestone
The article discusses a controversial case involving harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant who entered the U.S. in 2018 and was involved in a fatal crash on the Florida Turnpike, resulting in three deaths. Singh allegedly made a dangerous U-turn in an “Official Use Only” area, causing a Chrysler minivan to collide with his semi-truck. He has been charged with three counts each of vehicular homicide and manslaughter, as well as immigration violations, and will face deportation once his state charges are resolved.
Despite the severity of the incident and the loss of innocent lives, over three million people have signed a petition on change.org calling for leniency in Singh’s sentencing, describing the crash as a tragic accident rather than intentional harm. The petition advocates for proportionate sentencing, early parole, alternative measures, and clemency, promoting the idea of restorative justice.
The article also highlights criticism of this petition, emphasizing Singh’s criminal negligence, his illegal entry into the country, and his apparent inability to read English despite being granted a commercial driver’s license in California. Officials in Florida have vowed to pursue strict legal consequences, and the case has sparked debate about immigration enforcement and public safety, contrasting calls for justice with demands for leniency.
A petition supporting an illegal immigrant charged with killing three people in Florida has crossed a shocking milestone.
More than three million people have signed a Change.org petition in support of Harjinder Singh.
Singh entered the U.S. illegally in 2018.
On Aug. 12, he allegedly made a fatal U-turn on an “Official Use Only” area of the Florida Turnpike.
A Chrysler minivan struck his semi-truck, with no way to stop or turn.
This individual is an illegal immigrant who was granted a commercial driver’s license by the State of California — and now, three innocent people are dead.
He has been arrested for vehicular homicide and an ICE detainer has been issued. https://t.co/6NkliBDdSl

The crash killed three Floridians: 30-year-old Herby Dufresne, 54-year-old Rodrigue Dor, and 37-year-old Faniloa Joseph, WBPF reported.
Singh has been arrested and faces three counts of vehicular homicide, three counts of manslaughter, and immigration violations.
ICE has confirmed he will be deported after his state charges are complete. Officials in Florida have vowed to throw the book at him.
There will be accountability for this illegal alien’s reckless disregard for human life.
He will not escape justice in Florida. Not on my watch. https://t.co/FXqPfEb1DL

But rather than focus on the innocent lives lost, millions are demanding leniency for Singh.
The petition reads in part, “Impose a proportionate and reasonable sentence that reflects the reality this was a tragic accident, not an intentional act of harm. The punishment should be firm but fair — ensuring justice without being excessively harsh.”
It calls for early parole eligibility, “alternative sentencing measures,” and even clemency.
The petition also claims leniency would lead to “restorative justice.”
One commenter tried to pin the deaths of the victims on them when they wrote, “The van drivers are probably drunk, what took them so long to stop.”
Another simply demanded of Singh, “Free the man!”
Many claimed that Singh’s arrest was “racist” and that he made one small “mistake.”
Calling the crash a mistake ignores the reality that Singh could not even read the signs he passed.
This was not a mistake. It was criminal negligence by someone who had already chosen to break the law by entering the country illegally from India.
He never bothered to learn the language of this country, and California rewarded him for it by licensing him to drive a big rig.

Three million people and counting are defending all of this.
Were these same people concerned when illegal immigrants murdered Mollie Tibbetts and Laken Riley? No, and they do not care now.
For the American left, protecting illegal aliens comes before protecting American lives.
In their minds, nothing is more evil than national sovereignty.
If an American killed three people on a highway in Beijing, the left would not demand “restorative justice.” They would accuse the driver of attempted colonization of China.
Singh’s petition proves that for the left, opposing the values championed by the Republican Party matters more than protecting American life.
