More than 215,000 Indians have signed an online petition urging the federal government to free Harjinder Singh, the illegal migrant trucker who killed three Americans by doing an 18-wheeler U-Turn on a Florida turnpike.
“We, the undersigned, respectfully petition for clemency or sentence reduction on behalf of a 28-year-old Punjabi man who, in a tragic and unintentional incident, caused a truck accident that resulted in the loss of three lives,” says the petition at Change.org.
Instead of a prison sentence, the petition asks their fellow Indian be sentenced to “restorative justice measures, counseling, or community service, aligning with both accountability and compassion.”
“With deep respect and hope, Collective Punjabi youth,” the petition says. Punjab is a district in India that is heavily populated by the turban-wearing, non-Muslim Sikh ethnic group.
The Indian trucker is part of the fast-growing Indian Sikh community in the United States, which includes many illegal and legal migrants. In a post-accident test, he failed to understand English and highway signs.
He is now facing homicide charges in Florida amid public pressure for the proper enforcement of their laws.
Since 1990, U.S. government officials have stopped enforcing many laws to encourage migrants to enter the nation’s highways, housing, white-collar workplaces, and streets. More than 5 million Indians now live legally or illegally in the United States amid growing American opposition to the pocketbook damage and chaotic diversity caused by their arrival.
The accident echoes the imported Indian highway culture. “Risk-taking is another prevalent characteristic of Indian drivers,” Indian author Rohit Singh said in a 2024 article:
Most Indian drivers do not think twice before overtaking from the wrong side, speeding on crowded streets, or ignoring traffic signals. This I-care-a-damn and daredevil attitude is a product of the belief that getting ahead, even if only by a few seconds or minutes, is more important than safety. The lack of strict enforcement of traffic laws further emboldens drivers to undertake risky maneuvers, endangering themselves and others.
Another significant issue is the blatant disregard for traffic rules. Many drivers see rules as mere suggestions rather than mandatory guidelines. This attitude stems from poor road discipline and inadequate penalties for violations. The culture of non-compliance is also perpetuated by witnessing others frequently mock rules without facing any consequences whatsoever, creating a vicious cycle of lawlessness on the roads.
The pro-Indian petition cites the case of a trucker in Colorado who killed four Americans in a highway backup. The trucker’s brake failed, but he did not use an emergency exit ramp and continued at a speed of 100 miles per hour:
Key Considerations & Precedent:
No criminal intent or history: The [Florida] incident was a catastrophe, not a criminal act. The driver has no prior record and fully cooperated with authorities.
Disproportionate sentencing: The imposed 45-year sentence is excessively severe given the nature of the accident.
Relevant precedent—Aguilera‑Mederos case: In Colorado, a driver, Rogel Aguilera‑Mederos, initially received a 110-year sentence for a fatal crash resulting in four deaths. Following a massive public outcry and a petition that garnered over 5 million signatures, [Democratic, pro-migration] Governor Jared Polis commuted his sentence to 10 years, with parole eligibility after five years (The Guardian, ABC, CBS News).
The Indian signatories repeatedly declare their solidarity with the Indian illegal migrant, not with the dead Americans.
