California's "Sanctuary" Policies Gave Way to Florida Tragedy

The White House
August 18, 2025

Three innocent Americans are dead after an illegal alien semi-truck driver attempted an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike and caused a minivan to violently crash into the truck's trailer.

The illegal alien is an Indian national who was granted a commercial driver's license by the so-called "sanctuary state" of California, whose reckless policies put the lives of American citizens at risk every single day. But instead of acknowledging the tragedy, criminal illegal alien sympathizer Gavin Newsom callously doubled down, claiming that giving driver's licenses to illegals "improves public safety."

While Democrats put criminal illegal aliens over the Americans they claim to represent, the Trump Administration provides no such safe harbor and is seeking to place the individual into removal proceedings.

"How many more innocent people have to die before Gavin Newsom stops playing games with the safety of the American public?" asks the Department of Homeland Security. "We pray for the victims and their families. Secretary Noem and DHS are working around the clock to protect the public and get these criminal illegal aliens out of America."
