- Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and the Department of Homeland Security condemned the sentence, calling it a "slap on the wrist," and vowed to prevent illegal immigrant truckers from operating on U.S. roads.
- Singh entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and later obtained a California commercial driver's license, despite federal warnings to California about licensing compliance for non-citizens.
- The case has ignited political debate in California, with Democrats opposing language proficiency tests for truck drivers as racial profiling, while Republicans argue for strict law enforcement without regard to race.
