The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, announced Thursday on X that all workers’ visas for commercial truck drivers are interrupted immediately.
This decision follows the questions of the Trump administration after an illegal immigrant would have killed three people while making a illegal U-turn in its large platform on a road in Florida. Rubio said in his post that the break comes as a “growing number of foreign drivers” running large vehicles endangers Americans.

“In accounting, we stop any issuing workers’ visa visas for commercial truck drivers. The growing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor trucks on American roads endangers American life and undergoes the livelihoods of American truckers,” Rubio wrote.
The National Harjinder Singh Indian, who lives illegally in the United States, was charged on Monday from three homicide chiefs per vehicle after three people died when he made a illegal turn on the Florida toll near Port St. Lucie.
Video sequences published online of the incident show Singh and another individual of his truck trying the illegal U-turn before a black car can be seen in the Singh truck which seemed to block all the ways.
According to a survey by Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, in coordination with immigration and customs application, Singh illegally entered the United States in 2018 through the American-Mexican border, later obtaining its commercial driving license (CDL) in California.

Questions have been raised by the Trump administration on how Singh was able to obtain his CDL when the investigators found that the illegal immigrant has a very limited knowledge of the English language and American road signs.
According to a press release from the United States Ministry of Transport (DOT), Singh failed an assessment of skills in English, offering only two correct answers on 12 verbal questions and correctly identifying one of the four road traffic panels. During a press conference on the incident, the secretary of the dowry, Sean Duffy, said that the ministry would take all the measures to keep “the states and the bad players responsible”.
“Non -applicable and radical policies have transformed the truck industry into a borderless border, which has led to unskilled foreign drivers who incorrectly acquire licenses to operate 40 -ton vehicles,” said Duffy. “We will use all the tools at our disposal to keep these states and bad players responsible.”
While Singh tried to take refuge in California after accusations were brought against him, the Lieutenant-Governor of Florida Jay Collins was sent by the governor on Wednesday to recover and bring him back.
In 2023, data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 16% of truck drivers were born outside the United States, according to Reuters.
