A petition for leniency for truck driver Harjinder Singh has garnered over 1.3 million signatures, sparking backlash from US influencers who claim it's primarily supported by Indians. The petition, started in Australia, argues the accident was not deliberate and the charges are too severe. Critics allege Indians are supporting an "illegal alien" who caused a fatal crash. Harjinder Singh, an undocumented immigrant since 2018, received a work permit and commercial license. He was denied bond in Florida, with his brother also arrested.
