The driver, Tarsem Singh, an Indian national, was airlifted to hospital. DHS revealed he had entered the US illegally in February 2017 through California’s southern border — arrested at the time, then released on bond by a judge.

DHS announced a formal ICE detainer against Singh on Saturday to ensure he is never released. Acting secretary Lauren Bis called it “a tragic reminder” of the dangers of illegal immigrants driving on American roads.
