(DCNF)—Immigration agents have arrested yet another illegal migrant truck driver accused of causing a horrific accident on U.S. roadways.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents took custody of Sukhdev Singh, an Indian national living unlawfully in the U.S., earlier in March after he allegedly caused a traffic accident that left a U.S. citizen hospitalized and in critical condition, the Daily Caller News Foundation has exclusively learned. Singh had obtained a Commercial Driver’s License in New York before crashing a big rig in Indianapolis, Indiana.
“It is common sense: illegal aliens should not be operating 18-wheelers on American highways. We are praying this individual makes a full recovery,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement provided to the DCNF.
“It is incredibly dangerous for illegal aliens, who often don’t know our traffic laws or even English, to be operating 18-wheelers on America’s roads,” Bis continued. “Sanctuary governors like Kathy Hochul must stop giving illegal aliens driver’s license before even more Americans get injured or killed.”
While driving a semi-truck on March 6, the 25-year-old Singh allegedly hit a pedestrian along I-65, according to the DHS. The victim was transported to a local hospital while Indiana State Police — which operates under state laws that facilitatestrong cooperation with ICE — contacted immigration agents.
ICE arrived at the scene later that evening and assumed custody of the Indian national, according to DHS. It’s not immediately clear when Singh illegally entered the U.S., but records indicate he obtained a non-domiciled CDL — the type commercial license used by illegal migrant truckers — from New York officials on Jan. 2, 2025.
The bust in Indianapolis marks the latest in a growing string of catastrophic or deadly roadway accidents allegedly caused by illegal migrant truck drivers. In early February, an illegal migrant trucker allegedly killed four members of the Amish community in Indiana, an accident that followed other deadly crashes in Florida, California and elsewhere.
The crisis that has prompted the Trump administration to take dramatic action to keep CDLs away from illegal migrants.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) in September heavily restricted non-domiciled CDLs and revealed that a federal audit uncovered “catastrophic patterns” of states unlawfully issuing licenses to foreign truck drivers. In February, the DOT doubled down with more rules to keep illegal migrants away from 18-wheelers, rolling out new screening processes and eliminating a loophole that previously allowed foreigners with bad driving records to obtain trucking licenses.
While giving his State of the Union address before Congress in February, President Donald Trump unveiled his aim to pass “Dalilah’s Law,” a bill named after Dalilah Coleman, a girl hit by an illegal migrant truck driver in June 2024 and left with life-altering injuries.
“Dalilah Coleman was only 5 years old in June 2024 when an 18-wheel tractor-trailer plowed into her stopped car traveling at 60 miles an hour or more,” the president said during the address. “The driver was an illegal alien let in by Joe Biden and given a commercial driver’s license by open borders, politicians and California.”
The day after Trump’s speech, Indiana GOP Sen. Jim Banks introduced Dalilah’s Law and has since been working with her father on the legislation. Banks has championed reform in the trucker industry, having previously urged the DOT to crack down on chameleon carriers and introducing a trucker trip line for insiders to report malfeasance.
Over 50% of the New York’s non-domiciled licenses were issued illegally, according to a DOT investigation released in December. The Trump administration has threatened to withhold millions in federal funding from the state unless officials do a better job cracking down on the crisis.
