ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Truck Driver Who Critically Injured American Man in Semi-Truck Crash

Another illegal alien with a Commercial Driver's License from Governor Kathy Hochul, another American victim

WASHINGTON - Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the arrest of Sukhdev Singh, an illegal alien with a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) issued by the state of New York, who is accused of causing a crash while driving a semi-truck that left a U.S. citizen hospitalized and in critical condition.

"It is common sense: illegal aliens should not be operating 18-wheelers on American highways. We are praying this individual makes a full recovery," said Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "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. Sanctuary governors like Kathy Hochul must stop giving illegal aliens driver's license before even more Americans get injured or killed." 

On March 6, 2026, at approximately 6:30 p.m. EST, a semi-truck driver and Indian national named Sukhdev Singh hit a pedestrian at E Raymond Street and I-65 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Indiana State Police responded to the incident, arrested the 25-year-old Singh, and contacted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

ICE arrived at the scene and arrested Singh that evening. He will remain in ICE custody pending the outcome of his immigration proceedings. His victim was transported to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition as of this publication.

On January 2, 2025, the state of New York issued him a non-domiciled CDL.

CDL issued by New York state

Governor Kathy Hochul should have never given this illegal alien a CDL to wreak havoc on American streets.

This is not the first illegal alien issued a CDL by Governor Hochul's New York. In October, DHS announced the arrest of an illegal alien, Anmol Anmol, who was also issued a CDL by the state of New York to "No Name Given Anmol."

Record checks conducted by ICE revealed Anmol is an illegal alien from India. ICE arrested him and placed him in removal proceedings. He entered the U.S. illegally in 2023 and was released by the Biden administration into the country.

DHS law enforcement is protecting American communities every day from another senseless tragedy like this taking place in another town, to another family.
