ICE has put a hold on Harjinder Singh. Gov. Ron DeSantis dispatched Lt. Gov. Jay Collins to California to escort Singh onto an airplane before his court appearance.

A petition urging Florida officials to show leniency toward Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant truck driver accused of causing a crash that killed three people, has garnered nearly 2.5 million signatures as of Sunday afternoon.

Supporters say the fatal wrong U-turn was a tragedy, not a crime; judge denies bond while vehicular-homicide and immigration cases proceed.
