The truck driver accused of making an illegal U-turn that killed three people in Florida is seen in a police video recorded in July interacting and understanding English. The Department of Homeland Security has said Harjinder Singh, a native of India, was in the country illegally. So, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he should not have been granted a commercial driver's license by Washington and California. He said New Mexico should have pulled Singh off the road for not speaking English after he was pulled over in July, because he later failed a test given by DOT investigators after the Florida crash. But the governor's office in New Mexico said a video of the police stop of Singh makes it clear that he understands English. The new development comes amid Trump administration’s threats to withhold federal funding from three states unless they add English proficiency as a requirement for commercial truck drivers.
