A California man, Harjinder Singh, is facing deportation proceedings after being charged in a fatal crash in Florida earlier this month.

After the fatal crash, Singh flew back to California from Florida, according to investigators.

The Department of Homeland Security then moved to initiate deportation proceedings, citing the severity of the incident. Singh’s legal status allows him to live and work in the U.S., but federal officials seek to revoke that status.
