Driving a semi-truck, Singh collided with several other vehicles, resulting in the deaths of three people and injuries to four others. Initially denying guilt, he pleaded guilty last month and was sentenced to four years and eight months in state prison. Singh had entered the U.S. through the southern border in 2022 under the Biden management. The Department of Homeland Security and other officials criticized the leniency of the sentence and accused open border policies of allowing such incidents to occur.
