What happened

Marcus Coleman, father of 7-year-old Dalilah Coleman, testified at a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on sanctuary policies and commercial driver licensing, telling Democratic lawmakers, “I reject your guys’ sympathy.” Dalilah was permanently disabled after a June 2024 crash in San Bernardino County involving an 18-wheeler driven by Partap Singh, an Indian national in the U.S. illegally. Singh entered the U.S. in 2022 and later obtained a commercial driver’s license. Dalilah suffered a fractured skull and broken leg and now has diplegic cerebral palsy and global developmental delay.
