Suspect accused of causing massive fatal pileup was illegal immigrant who obtained CDL in New York: feds

Key Highlights

• The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) said the suspect, 54-year-old Yisong Huang, illegally entered the country from Mexico in 2023.
• Officials added that Huang, who reportedly could not speak English, was released under the Biden administration and provided work authorization papers. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who has previously warned that illegal immigrants are obtaining commercial driver’s licenses (CDL), said this incident represents yet another example.
• "It’s not just that Joe Biden let millions of migrants flood into our country illegally," Duffy said in a statement Wednesday.
• "His administration doled out the documentation these unqualified foreign drivers needed to obtain trucking licenses and operate 40-ton missiles on the highway.
• The fact that this individual failed a basic English test also calls into question how he even got the license in the first place."
