Source summary
The Department of Homeland Security and ICE criticized Washington "sanctuary" politicians for declining to honor an ICE detainer for Kamalpreet Singh, an alleged criminal illegal-alien truck driver from India who caused a December 11 freeway crash that killed 29-year-old Robert Pearson. DHS says Singh entered the U.S. in 2023 near Lukeville, Arizona and was released by the Biden administration, and it cites a pattern of similar cases where detainers were not honored. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin condemned sanctuary policies and DHS pointed victims to the VOICE Office for support.
