The Supreme Court rejected Florida’s attempt to sue California and Washington over policies that allow undocumented immigrants to acquire a commercial driver’s license, on Tuesday.
Florida filed a lawsuit following a car accident in August 2025 on the Florida Turnpike. Harjinder Singh, an undocumented Indian immigrant, allegedly tried to make an illegal U-turn when a minivan crashed into his trailer, killing three people.
Singh is facing three charges of vehicular manslaughter. Florida claims that Washington and California violated federal immigration laws and a driver’s limited English proficiency is hazardous across state lines.
Attorneys from California and Washington argued the Supreme Court should not be involved, saying it could set a precedent by allowing states to interfere with each other’s policies based on their indirect effects.
The Supreme Court rejected to hear the dispute, shutting down Florida’s legal challenge.
