EXCLUSIVE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent his deputy to California to pick up fugitive Harjinder Singh an illegal immigrant from India who allegedly killed three motorists after making an illegal U-turn in his big-rig on Florida's Turnpike near Port St. Lucie."I have dispatched my new lieutenant governor, Jay Collins, to California to apprehend Harjinder Singh," DeSantis told Fox News Digital on Wednesday."Fleeing to a sanctuary state will not prevent him from facing justice in Floridaand we will make sure of that.""He will be held accountable for his criminal actions."ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCKER ACCUSED OF KILLING THREE PEOPLE FAILED ENGLISH, ROAD SIGN TESTS: DOTSingh fled to the "sanctuary" Golden State where he had also obtained his commercial driver's license (CDL) after he allegedly killed three people in a minivan who were traveling on Florida's Turnpike between the Yeehaw Junction and Fort Pierce exits.Singh allegedly utilized a narrow median crossover clearly marked for only emergency vehicles, and blocked all northbound lanes in attempting the maneuver which led to the van slamming into the trailer and being wedged beneath; killing its occupants.Collins, who was appointed lieutenant governor last week after the prior departure of Jeanette Nunez, is a former state senator and wounded veteran from Tampa.DeSantis notably nicknamed Collins "the Chuck Norris of Florida Politics" for his earnestness and eagerness to pitch in extremely sensitive situations, including the return of Jewish Americans from Israel after the Hamas terror attack on Oct. 7, 2023.Collins flew west on Wednesday afternoon to retrieve Singh.DESANTIS PICKS THE CHUCK NORRIS OF FLORIDA POLITICS AS NEW TOP DEPUTY"Florida lost three innocent lives at the hands of an illegal immigrant who never should have been in this country to begin with," he told Fox News Digital in further exclusive comments."I believe in a government that doesnt look the other way, but takes the time to enforce the law and hold criminals fully accountable: Thats why Im en route to California right now to ensure this individual is extradited back to Florida."Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., said on Wednesday that Singh appeared to believe he would be safer in California due to its sanctuary state status; which contrasts with Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier enforcing state laws meant to keep illegal immigrants out of the Sunshine State.Those policies are currently under judicial scrutiny in Miami, where Obama-appointed federal Judge Kathleen Williams ordered the state to stop enforcing it.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAfter local authorities in some quarters were found to reportedly be continuing to utilize the law, Williams ordered Uthmeier in July to begin producing regular reports on cases being brought on illegal immigration-related grounds, according to the AP.DeSantis is expected to comment further on Singh's return at an unrelated presser Wednesday afternoon.Singh attempted to obtain work authorization when he first entered illegally in 2020, but was rebuffed by the first Trump administration.Mast said earlier Wednesday that the case shows the transportation sector and CDL training facilities must be more vigilant in checking on who is driving commercial vehicles on America's highways and tollways.

A Georgia teenager accused of murdering her mother and stepfather was denied bond on Tuesday after an emotional hearing in which family members argued for and against her release.Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, is accused of killing her mother, Kristin Brock, 41, and stepfather, James Brock, 45, inside their home on Feb. 20, according to authorities. The couple was found shot to death after Patricks 5-year-old sister discovered their bodies and the teen called 911, according to FOX 5.In the days after the murders, Patrick allegedly took to social media to bring attention to the case as authorities searched for the killer, raising awareness about the case on TikTok. She subsequently turned herself in on July 8, according to the Carroll County Sheriffs Office.GEORGIA TEEN WHO RAISED 'AWARENESS' ABOUT MOTHER, STEPFATHER'S DEATHS ON TIKTOK NOW CHARGED WITH THEIR MURDERIn an emotional, two-hour bond hearing, advocates for Patrick described the teen as a church-going young woman while pointing out her lack of criminal history, the outlet reported.Patricks pastor told the court she had "made a personal decision to be baptized" and "continued to attend services regularly," adding she often called him while in jail to pray."Hurting someone simply isnt in her nature or character," one supporter told the judge, according to FOX 5. "She remained incredibly kind, respectful and especially patient."VIDEO OF SUSPECTED 'HONOR KILLING' PLOT RESURFACES AS PARENTS STAND TRIAL FOR ATTEMPTED MURDERHowever, prosecutors argued Patrick could attempt to intimidate witnesses or pose a flight risk if released."If the defendant can kill her own parents in such a violent manner, I fear for my own safety and the safety of my family and friends," Kim Bowling, the victims sister, said. "I urge you to consider this in your decision."Additional family members also echoed the same concerns, with Patricks stepbrother, Trysten Brock, adding that he believes she would "absolutely attempt to flee rather than stand trial if given the opportunity."IDAHO VICTIMS' FAMILIES TO ADDRESS KILLER DIRECTLY AT KOHBERGER SENTENCINGUltimately, Judge Dustin Hightower sided with the prosecution while ordering Patrick held without bond, citing a potential "significant flight risk" and "risk of witness intimidation.""This is not daytime Court TV, and this is not for entertainment," Hightower said. "We're here to simply apply the law ... and Im going to do that to the best of my ability."Patrick's attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.Patrick is charged as an adult with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault, according to the outlet. Her trial is set for Jan. 5, 2026.Fox News Digital's Adam Sabes contributed to this report.

A second federal judge has denied a motion from the Justice Department to release grand jury materials connected to the Jeffrey Epstein case, calling them a "diversion."U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman denied the request in a 14-page decision published Wednesday.While it's rare for the government to seek the unsealing of grand jury materials, Berman wrote that there were about 70 pages of Epstein grand jury materials compared to 100,000 pages in possession of the government.WHITE HOUSE CRITICIZES JUDGE'S DECISION NOT TO UNSEAL EPSTEIN ASSOCIATE GRAND JURY TESTIMONY"The Government is the logical party to make comprehensive disclosure to the public of the Epstein Files," he wrote. "By comparison, the instant grand jury motion appears to be a 'diversion' from the breadth and scope of the Epstein Files in the Government's possession."While the materials themselves remain sealed, Berman described them as a 56-page transcript of an FBI agent's presentation on June 18, 2019, a 14-page transcript of the agent's presentation on July 2, a PowerPoint exhibit and a call log.Read Judge Berman's decision:GHISLAINE MAXWELL OPPOSES COURT UNSEALING HER GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPTSThe judge also voiced safety concerns raised by a group of victims' rights lawyers who objected to the release of anything that could expose the identities of the victims. While 23 victims addressed the court after Epstein's death in 2019, there are more than 1,000 of them in all, Berman wrote, citing a joint Justice Department/FBI memo released earlier this year."It is difficult to know exactly how many victims favor unsealing and how many favor continued sealing," the judge continued. "It is likely that victims who favor disclosure do so on the assumption that their safety, privacy and dignity will be protected."While Epstein is not alive to oppose the unsealing, and his estate took no position on the matter, Berman wrote that public interest in the case is nevertheless not enough to justify unsealing the grand jury materials.U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer denied a similar request in the case against Epstein's convicted accomplice and former lover, Ghislaine Maxwell, on Aug. 11.In the earlier decision, Engelmayer wrote that the grand jury in Maxwell's case was not empaneled as part of the investigation but afterward and as a result there was no firsthand witness testimony. Berman also used this line of reasoning, noting that not a single victim testified before grand jurors in Epstein's case.Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence after she was convicted at trial in 2021 of helping Epstein traffic teen girls. She has an ongoing appeal and has signaled that she is willing to sit for interviews with both federal prosecutors and Congress.Epstein died in a federal jail cell in 2019 before he faced trial himself. His official cause of death has been ruled a suicide, a conclusion rejected by his brother.

Former NBC News "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd argued Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin made a "huge miscalculation" during last week's summit in Alaska by not giving President Donald Trump a "win."On his show, "The Chuck Toddcast," the former NBC host said Putin has a "very low regard" for Trump and views the president as "really easy to manipulate" after he refused to make any concessions, such as a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine, for the duration of the Alaska summit."Why do I say this? Because he's given Trump nothing," he said. "And, you know, he pays him lip service, right? He tells Trump what he wants to hear about mail-in voting. What Trump wants to hear about is whether the war would have started if Trump had been president or not. But he never actually gives Trump a win that Trump is asking for, right?"PUTIN APPEARS TO BE VISIBLY ANNOYED AS REPORTERS BARRAGE HIM AND TRUMP WITH QUESTIONSTrump and Putin met in Alaska on Friday to discuss peace in Ukraine as the war has gone for over three years.Todd noted that Putin "couldn't even give him a ceasefire during the time that they were meeting in Alaska" or during the 72 hours that Trump was "playing shuttle diplomacy between Putin and Zelenskyy.""That is total disrespect by Putin, right?" he questioned. "It totally should undermine the idea that Putin wouldn't have launched this invasion of Ukraine had Trump been president."Todd contended that if Putin respected Trump so much, "why couldn't he just give him a temporary ceasefire?""I think Putin thinks he can just pay lip service and not actually have to match the lip service with an action," he said. "I think he's miscalculating."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURETodd said Trump will eventually realize that Putin is "tapping" him along and that he doesn't plan on making good on his "lip service."He argued that this is a mistake on Putin's part, because Trump may be the "most friendly" U.S. president that he'll ever face.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"To not enhance his reputation at a time when he's desperate to enhance it, not to help him get his ceasefire, get his peace prize, give him more credibility with the West with a guy that you have influence, really seems to be a mistake on Putin's part," Todd said.

Fox Nation is revisiting one of the most sensational true crime cases of the 21st century the Amanda Knox story in a new special that reexamines the twists, trials and lingering questions surrounding the American exchange student accused of murder in Italy.The Seattle native spent nearly four years in an Italian prison after being accused of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher while studying abroad.To some, she was a cold-blooded killer. To others, she was a scapegoat trapped in a legal nightmare."Since O.J. Simpson, this was the biggest case. This was the other case of the century, and it was going to be spun by different people [in] different ways," said Dr. Greg Hampikian, a forensic DNA expert, in the new special.KIDNAPPING SURVIVOR, ONCE DISMISSED AS A LIAR, NOW RETRAINS POLICE TO HELP VICTIMSAlong with attorney Anne Bremner and journalist Angenette Levy, Hampikian broke down the Knox case in the Fox Nation special, starting from the moment she left the U.S. and became a suspect abroad.Before the handcuffs, Knox was a student at the University of Washington with her sights set on Europe."She wanted to go abroad like anybody at that age, wanting to branch out," said Bremner.She worked three jobs, including one as a barista, to make that dream a reality.AMANDA KNOX GIVES WARNING TO STUDENTS WANTING TO STUDY ABROAD, 10 YEARS AFTER BEING ACQUITTED OF MURDERWith a goal to learn Italian and become a translator, she arrived in Perugia, Italy in September 2007 and moved into a flat with three roommates, one of whom was Kercher, a British exchange student.Along the way, a romantic relationship emerged when Knox met a man while attending a concert with Kercher. Raffaele Sollecito, a 23-year-old student who was in the area to study information technology, was added to the triangle of suspicion surrounding Kercher's unexpected death.There were reports that Kercher was stabbed several times and sexually assaulted in the middle of the night, but further details surrounding the incident remained mysterious.With a window broken and a rock found nearby, police initially speculated that the crime was a burglary gone wrong, but when they realized nothing had been taken from the property, they developed alternative theories.AMANDA KNOX'S ADVICE FOR AMERICAN LINKED TO PUNTA CANA MISSING PERSONS CASEInvestigators then zeroed in on Knox, Sollecito and an innocent bar owner despite having no physical evidence to support their implication."The police in Perugia they don't think Amanda Knox is acting appropriately for someone whose roommate was stabbed 47 times," Levy explained. Bremner chalked up that suspicion to cultural differences that largely shaped Italian authorities' perceptions.One image of Knox kissing Sollecito outside the murder site was plastered everywhere, but Bremner said it failed to capture the despondent looks they shared immediately after.CLICK HERE TO JOIN FOX NATIONThen, one text message a complete misunderstanding shifted everything, raising suspicion even higher.To learn more about the Amanda Knox case, including her hours-long interrogation, a faulty statement, the emergence of a well-known criminal and the road to Knox's eventual acquittal, subscribe to Fox Nation and begin streaming "Framed: The Amanda Knox Story" today.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is not afraid of confrontation especially in a Starbucks parking lot.The 50-year-old NFL coach explained in a recent podcast appearance that he tends to confront people that use accessible parking spaces when they dont have a permit."The people at Starbucks that park in a handicap spot and go in there and try to get their order from the mobile order (who are) by no means handicapped," Vrabel said during an appearance on The Athletics "Scoop City."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMVrabel said he looks for a parking permit that would allow someone to park in the accessible space, and if he doesnt see one, he waits for the person to come out and approaches them."When I didnt have a job, I had nothing else to do," Vrabel said. "I could sit here for 15 minutes, wait for this person to come out and actually see if theyre handicapped.""I say things like, Why did you park here? One person would be like, Im with DoorDash. Im like, I dont care. Thats unacceptable," Vrabel said. "And theres the mom thats going to yoga and shes rushing because shes late and Im like, This is ridiculous."NFL STAR CHOOSES SIDE IN PEYTON MANNING VS TOM BRADY DEBATEThe former Tennessee Titans coach admitted he "accosts" people and even wishes he could slash their tires."Id slash their tires, thats how much it bothers me," he said.The Athletics Dianna Russini suggested using a boot as punishment, and Vrabel was all for it."I would boot their car. Like a mobile boot that said, I parked in a handicap spot, and Im not handicapped," Vrabel said.When Vrabel isnt venting about bad parking, hes focused on turning around the Patriots in his first season as head coach.

Questions are looming over how the illegal immigrant who killed three in a Florida truck crash obtained his commercial drivers license.Harjinder Singh is the suspect in the Fort Pierce crash, and officials have said that he did not pass English and road tests, according to officials.Singh, who entered the United States illegally, was given a full-term commercial drivers license in Washington in July 2023, despite not legally being allowed to, and was given a limited-term commercial drivers license in California in 2024, and the Department of Transportation is looking into if it complied with federal regulations. Lora Ries, Director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, explained how this could have happened in the first place.ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCKER ACCUSED OF KILLING THREE PEOPLE FAILED ENGLISH, ROAD SIGN TESTS: DOT"Just as states issue drivers licenses, they also issue commercial drivers licenses (CDLs). States are not supposed to issue CDLs to a person unless they are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (green card holder). There seems to be a loophole for a state to issue a CDL to someone who is merely authorized to work in the U.S.," Ries explained in a statement to Fox News Digital."Note that the Trump (45) Administration denied Harjinder Singhs application for work authorization, but the Biden Administration later granted his request. That could be enough to exploit this CDL loophole in a willing state," she continued.Ries also made some suggestions, including moves that could be made at the federal level to prevent further tragedies.FLORIDATRAGEDYSHOWSWHYTRUMPSTRUCKING LICENSECRACKDOWNISNEEDED"First, the federal government should close this loophole under its interstate commerce clause and federal immigration authority. Second, DHS should not issue work authorization unless and until the underlying immigration benefit application (such as asylum) is granted, not merely filed. Too many fraudulent immigration benefit applications are filed solely to obtain work authorization. Making such authorization contingent on the underlying benefit being granted would significantly reduce benefit fraud and shrink the application backlogs," Ries added.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGESeveral states, such as California and Minnesota, do allow people in the country illegally to drive in some cases, but its usually much harder when it comes to obtaining a commercial license.A debate went down on X earlier this week between California Gov. Gavin Newsom's press office and the Department of Homeland Security on how the work permit issue unfolded."Why dont you ask Trump about the drivers federally issued work permit and when he entered this country?," a Newsom spokesperson said in a statement. "Spoiler alert: it was in 2018 under Trump whoops. He would have been eligible in any state. California followed federal law, something the President knows nothing about."ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCK DRIVER ACCUSED IN DEADLY FLORIDA CRASH GOT BIDEN WORK PERMIT AFTER TRUMP DENIAL: DHS"In fact, the driver in this case was reissued an Employment Authorization (work permit) on 4/9/2025 and, if my math is correct, that falls within the current presidential term," the statement continued."3 innocent people were killed in Florida because Gavin Newsoms California DMV issued an illegal alien a Commercial Drivers License," she wrote Monday on X. "This gut wrenching tragedy should have never happened. My team at @DHSgov will work with @USDOT to root out and prevent illegal aliens from obtaining these licenses from sanctuary jurisdictions that put American drivers and passengers in danger."In addition, Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin and Newsom's press office had an exchange on X on Monday about the timeline."Hey, genius: the federal government (TRUMP ADMIN) already confirmed that this guy meets federal and state immigration requirements -- YOU issued him a work permit (EAD). As usual, the Trump Administration is either lying or clueless. p.s. [grok], who was President in 2018?" Newsom's office tweeted in a response to McLaughlin."False. Harjinder Singh is in the United States illegally and his work authorization was rejected under the Trump Administration on September 14, 2020," McLaughlin replied. "It was later approved under the Biden Administration June 9, 2021. The state of California issues Commercial Driver's Licenses. There is no national CDL," McLaughlin replied.Fox News Digital reached out to the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the California Attorney Generals office for comment.

A teenager who narrowly survived an alleged "honor killing" attempt by her parents publicly tore into them in a Washington courtroom on Monday as they were sentenced for the incident, which was captured on video.The teen emotionally addressed her parents, Ihsan and Zahraa Ali, prior to sentencing, according to KING 5. Her parents had previously been accused of trying to kill her in October 2024, when she was 17."You're a monster, and I can't believe you're my dad," the daughter told her father during her victim impact statement, the outlet reported. "How could you call yourself a father you tried to kill me! My dad tried to kill me with his own hands."Addressing her mother, she added, "My mom saw me almost pass away right in front of her own eyes and didn't help me at all, didn't say if I was OK didn't even try to be there for me."VIDEO OF SUSPECTED 'HONOR KILLING' PLOT RESURFACES AS PARENTS STAND TRIAL FOR ATTEMPTED MURDERProsecutors said the October 2024 attack happened after the victim ran away from home to escape her father, who was allegedly trying to send her to another country. According to court documents, the teenager told police that her father had recently threatened her with an "honor killing" for refusing an arranged marriage to an older man abroad.The teen went to Timberline High School in Lacey County, a school she had previously attended, seeking help from school staff. Her father, mother, and sister reportedly followed her there, according to an affidavit filed on Oct. 24, 2024.A school counselor reportedly helped the victim find shelter at "Safe Haven," and her plan was to take a city bus from the school to get there. While waiting for the city bus, the victim's father allegedly approached her and "said she needed to go home," the affidavit states.RACHEL MORIN'S MOTHER EXPLAINS PAINSTAKING PROCESS OF WRITING STATEMENT TO READ AT KILLER'S SENTENCING"He would not take no for an answer and began pulling at her shirt. She said that once she was placed into a choke hold, she was unable to breathe or speak, and then passed out," the affidavit says, adding later that the victim believes she lost consciousness several times while her father allegedly choked her.During sentencing, the outlet reported that Judge Christine Schaller emphasized the severity of the attack and said that the victim likely would have died had bystanders not intervened.WIFE OF BOULDER FIREBOMBING SUSPECT BEGS AMERICANS FOR HELP WHILE JUDGE DELAYS DEPORTATION"Your behavior was reprehensible and nothing defends what you did," Schaller told the father. "You were not going to let her go, you were not going to let her breath because nobody else was going to control the situation you were going to maintain control."The outlet reported that both parents were acquitted of attempted murder charges related to the attack. However, her father was convicted of assault and unlawful imprisonment, while her mother was convicted of violating a restraining order.They received the maximum sentences allowed of 20 months in prison for the father and nearly a year for the mother, KING 5 reported.As part of the sentencing, Ihsan Ali was also ordered not to have any contact with his daughter for the next 10 years.Fox News Digital reached out to the parents' attorney and Thurston County Court for comment.
