An Indian man accused of killing two individuals in a horrific highway crash entered the United States unlawfully under the Biden administration.
Rajinder Kumar, who was arrested in late November for allegedly causing a fatal accident along an Oregon highway, is an Indian national who entered the U.S. unlawfully in 2022 before obtaining a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), according to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) information shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. The highway accident in Oregon was just the latest fatal crash allegedly caused by an illegal migrant truck driver released into the country by the Biden administration and given a CDL by California officials.
“Rajinder Kumar, a criminal illegal alien from India, was released into our country under the Biden administration and issued a commercial driver’s license by Gavin Newsom’s Department of Motor Vehicles,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement shared with the DCNF.
“How many more senseless tragedies must take place before sanctuary politicians stop allowing illegal aliens to dangerously operate 18-wheelers on America’s roads?” McLaughlin continued. “Our prayers are with William and Jennifer’s family.
The 32-year-old Kumar allegedly jackknifed his semi-trailer and blocked both lanes along Highway 20 in Deschutes County on Nov. 26, according to Oregon State Police. A Subaru Outback collided with the semi-trailer, killing both the driver, William Micah Carter, and a passenger, Jennifer Lynn Lower.
Kumar has been charged with criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment, according to the Oregon State Police. He was reportedly left uninjured from the accident.
The Indian national unlawfully crossed the southern border near Lukeville, Arizona, in November 2022 and was released by the Biden administration, according to DHS. The following year, he was given work authorization by Biden officials and issued a CDL by the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
