Expect Louder Clemency Pleas As Trump Admin Begins Tackling CDL Crisis

A Change.org petition, initiated by "Collective Punjabi youth," has surged to over 2.3 million signatures, imploring Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to grant clemency to Harjinder Singh. Support has poured in from everywhere but the United States, with most signatures originating from India and the global Punjabi diaspora. Framed as a plea for mercy in a "tragic accident," supporters argue the 28-year-old illegal immigrant from Punjab, India, deserves counseling or community service rather than prison for the deaths of three Americans. Videos and comments pour in from India, Australia, and worldwide, spotlighting Singh's youth and family struggles, but this swell of support smacks of identity politics over justice. Petitioners, largely from Singh's ethnic community, seek exemption through cultural ties, ignoring the victims' grieving families.

NEW: Over 1.65M people have signed a petition to free the illegal immigrant truck driver who made an illegal U-Turn, taking the lives of 3 Americans.

The petition argues that Harjinder Singh should be sentenced to counseling or community service.

Harjinder Singh killed 3 people. He was in America illegally. Now, there are people who want clemency for Harjinder Singh.

from Googe AI regarding clemency:

Clemency is an act of executive leniency for a criminal conviction, taking forms such as a pardon, commutation of sentence, or reprieve

the accident was 2 weeks ago and we are months away from a trial.  Why is the punjab nation calling for clemency when there has is no criminal conviction yet?
