DHS asks California to not release big rig driver arrested after deadly Highway 99 crash near Lodi
Federal officials said Singh entered the U.S. illegally in 2023 and asked California not to release him after the crash.
- On Tuesday, 24-year-old big rig driver Manvir Singh crashed into three vehicles on Highway 99 near Lodi, killing two people, ages 16 and 20.
- The Department of Homeland Security identified Singh as an undocumented immigrant from India who entered the United States via Arizona in 2023, prompting federal officials to lodge a detainer preventing his release.
- Facing charges including vehicular manslaughter, hit-and-run, and resisting a police officer, Singh remains in custody with bail set at $400,000; prosecutors claim he attempted to flee the scene and call an Uber.
- Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said, "This criminal illegal alien from India should never have been behind the wheel," while a spokesperson for Gov. Gavin Newsom stated officials must ensure perpetrators face consequences.
- The incident has intensified federal debates over states issuing commercial driver's licenses to undocumented individuals, with advocates pushing for federal legislation named after Dalilah Coleman to prohibit the practice nationwide.
