On Thursday, Fox News reporter William La Jeunesse filled in viewers on several car crash deaths caused by illegal aliens who were allowed into the country under the Biden administration.
The Fox reporter added: “So the crash happened on Tuesday on the 10 Freeway outside L.A. Singh in an 18-wheeler made no attempt to slow down, slamming into the back of an SUV before plowing into multiple other vehicles in the same lane.”
He then reminded viewers of several other examples of illegal aliens from earlier this year who caused deadly trucking crashes in Florida, Texas and Indiana who entered the country illegally during the Biden administration. He noted that California has issued many commercial driver’s licenses to illegals, and some have caused crashes in other states:
A few weeks ago, Fox also informed viewers of efforts by ICE and Oklahoma law enforcement which found that 20 percent of truck drivers stopped at checkpoints were illegal aliens. On the October 1, America Reports, La Jeunesse recounted:
Co-host John Roberts then spoke with Governor Kevin Stitt (R-OK) about the operation his state undertook with ICE to check truck drivers. Governor Stitt discussed the bizarre case of a New York driver’s license they discovered that was issued without a full name:

DANA PERINO: And horrible scenes on a California freeway Tuesday. We warn you, of course, this video could be very upsetting. Three people were killed when a semi truck driven by an illegal immigrant plowed into traffic just east of Los Angeles. It’s the most recent of several incidents across the country that we’ve been reporting on for you here. And William La Jeunesse is in L.A. with more. Hi, William.
WILLIAM LA JEUNESSE: Well, Dana, sources say the driver is a 21-year-old illegal immigrant caught and released at the California border by the Biden administration in March of 2022. Yet the state of California gave Jashanpreet Singh — an Indian national living near San Francisco — a commercial driver’s license. CHP charged him with DUI and multiple counts of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. He’s expected in court today.
So the crash happened on Tuesday on the 10 Freeway outside L.A. Singh in an 18-wheeler made no attempt to slow down, slamming into the back of an SUV before plowing into multiple other vehicles in the same lane. He then crashed into two more trucks on the shoulder. … So illegal immigrants and foreign nationals who can’t speak English or read road signs getting into deadly crashes all too common. A few months ago, you’ll remember this Indian national killed three in Florida making an illegal U-turn. Florida is suing California for giving him a CDL. According to a federal audit, California issued 62,000 commercial driver’s licenses to those who are not citizens or permanent residents.
Now, California also gave a CDL to a semi driver here accused in this crash that killed a motorist in Texas. The trucker only spoke Mandarin. On Tuesday, ICE put a detainer on this illegal immigrant from Serbia who ran his truck into oncoming traffic and killed an Indiana man. And then check out — check out this post last week from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy of a foreign driver headed into oncoming traffic.
(shows video of one truck driver telling another truck driver he has been driving the wrong way on a freeway)
So DOT calls this a national emergency. Recently, they imposed a ban on giving out new CDLs to non-U.S. residents and singled out California for having loose verification and documentation and skills test. Dana?
PERINO: All right, William. Thank you.
BILL HEMMER: I want to bring in Bill Essayli, U.S. attorney for the central district of California. … I want to get more on this DUI arrest. He had to be traveling at a fast rate of speed. What happened here?
BILL ESSAYLI, U.S. ATTORNEY: Yeah, I spoke to the D.A. My understanding is he was traveling at a fast rate of speed, and he did not apply his brakes at all. They do suspect he was under the influence of some type of stimulant. They are waiting for that toxicology report. I do suspect he will be charged with vehicular homicide. However, we’re also looking at charges. We are opening an investigation to understand how he obtained a commercial driver’s license from the state of California as an illegal immigrant, and we want to understand whether anyone in the DMV was complicit in issuing that driver’s license to him.

SANDRA SMITH: A shocking discovery in Oklahoma where a major immigration bust caught dozens of illegal drivers, and some of them with questionable licenses. Oklahoma’s governor is standing by for us, but first, senior national correspondent William La Jeunesse is reporting live in Los Angeles on that. What are we learning, William?
WILLIAM LA JEUNESSE: Well, that’s just a spotlight, Sandra. U.S. roads are inundated with hundreds of thousands of commercial drivers who don’t speak English, can’t read road signs, don’t sleep, and undercut U.S. driver wages by some 70 percent. That conclusion by the feds came after this crash in August prompted a deep dive into actually who’s driving America’s 18-wheelers. According to Secretary Sean Duffy, sanctuary states like California and New York, and some red states, are giving Biden-era asylum seekers commercial licenses.
SEAN DUFFY, TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY: The process for issuing these licenses is absolutely 100 percent broken. It has become a threat to public safety, and it is a national emergency.
LA JEUNESSE: Duffy highlighted crashes across the country like this 17-car pileup in Texas in March — five dead, including an infant. The driver — an asylum seeker from Eritrea who spoke Ethiopian — now indicted for manslaughter. And, in New Mexico, this big rig makes no attempt to stop, killing one, injuring another. The driver, according to court records, only spoke Mandarin.
SHANNON EVERETT, AMERICAN TRUCKERS UNITED: Our highways are full of what we believe to be hundreds of thousands of improperly licensed commercial truck drivers, a lot of them being illegal immigrants.
LA JEUNESSE: Last Friday, Duffy ordered states to stop issuing CDLs to any non-U.S. citizen or lawful resident. He estimates 190,000 non-domicile truck drivers should lose their license. An audit found California issued 25 percent of its CDLs illegally to immigrants. Now, in Oklahoma, a highway checkpoint found 20 percent of truck drivers were illegal immigrants. Some licenses had no first or middle name.
TIM TIPTON, OKLAHOMA DPS COMMISSIONER: The vast majority of those people had crossed the southern border into the United States between 2020 and 2024, and all of them had crossed on the southern border.
LA JEUNESSE: So states began issuing non-domicile CDLs in 2021 when President Biden addressed a dispute over driver shortages. Duffy says any state that continues to issue those CDLs to foreigners will lose their highway money. Sandra?
SMITH: All right, William La Jeunesse on that. Thank you. John?
JOHN ROBERTS: All right, let’s dig deeper on this by bringing in the governor of the great state of Oklahoma, Kevin Stitt. Governor, thanks so much for being with us. … So you — at least the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and ICE conducted a joint operation in recent days where you arrested more than 125 illegal aliens, and you came up with a number of commercial drivers who seemed to have licenses that were issued improperly or illegally to them in sanctuary states. You found that, I think, 20 percent of commercial driver’s licenses that you examined were awarded to illegal aliens. And I’ve been reading what you’ve been saying about this. You’re pretty hot about this whole thing.
GOVERNOR KEVIN STITT (R-OK): Yeah, you know, when my head of highway patrol called me and was — we were talking about this operation — and to us it’s pretty simple. We’re just going to enforce the law. And to drive on roads in Oklahoma, you’ve got to be able to read and understand English, especially the people driving 18-wheelers.
So when he told me that when he pulled over 520 vehicles at one of our checkpoints as an operation, and over close to 25 percent of these drivers were illegally driving, they were from China, Russia, Venezuela — it is unbelievable. And these aren’t people that are here legally with a legal CDL. They had overstayed their visa — they had illegally obtained this CDL — and they’re just violating the intent of the law and the absolute law.
The one person we posted on from New York had literally been detained at the southern border crossing illegally in 2023, and then was just released. It was a catch-and-release type deal. And they showed up in New York and got their CDL license. And you saw that — it said, “No given name,” and I’m not trying to call anybody out. I’m just — I think the American people need to understand this is a problem, and we have to be a law and order state and a law and order country.
