Public reporting and the DHS statement do not show any state criminal charges tied to the crash; local reports say he was held on a bench warrant (unrelated to the crash) and on an ICE detainer. There is no public record found that he has been formally charged in Indiana for the collision as of the latest reports.
Pennsylvania issues CDLs under federal (FMCSA) rules; applicants must be at least 18 (intrastate) or 21 (interstate), pass knowledge and skills (road) tests, meet medical/vision standards (medical examiner’s certificate), and meet residency/identity requirements. Noncitizens may obtain a CDL if they are lawful permanent residents or have certain lawful immigration statuses permitting driving; they must provide valid immigration documentation. (Some undocumented immigrants cannot obtain a CDL.)
CBP One is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection mobile/app platform that lets users submit applications, schedule appointments, and request parole/processing at ports of entry for humanitarian parole or other CBP-managed processes; it is used to pre-screen and manage select asylum/entry/parole requests and schedule appointments, not as a visa. CBP makes admissibility and entry decisions using CBP One submissions as part of case processing and screening, but final immigration status is determined by DHS/USCIS/CBP in line with laws.
An ICE immigration detainer (Form I-247) requests that a local jail hold an individual for up to 48 hours (excluding weekends/holidays) beyond release so ICE can take custody; it is not a judicial warrant and does not itself authorize arrest or new charges. Compliance is voluntary for many jurisdictions; some states and localities have policies limiting honor of detainers without a judicial warrant.
Remaining in ICE custody for immigration proceedings means DHS/ICE holds the person for civil immigration removal proceedings (detention and deportation hearings before an immigration judge). State criminal prosecution would be separate: state courts would charge, try, and if convicted, sentence the person under criminal law. ICE custody does not substitute for criminal charges; an individual can face both immigration proceedings and criminal prosecution at the same time or sequentially.
Indiana local jails may transfer detainees to ICE custody typically after ICE issues a detainer (Form I-247) or a federal immigration warrant; cooperation depends on local policies and court orders. Indiana county sheriffs historically have honored ICE detainers in many cases, and transfers occur by ICE taking custody at the jail; specific local agreements (e.g., 287(g) or memoranda of understanding) vary by county—no public statewide special transfer statute changes were identified in these reports.
State driver licensing agencies decide CDL eligibility (Pennsylvania DOT for PA CDLs): they verify identity/residency, require proof of legal presence where applicable, and ensure applicants pass required tests and hold a valid medical certificate. Medical fitness is certified by a U.S. Department of Transportation medical examiner (MEC) who issues a Medical Examiner’s Certificate; language and road-test competency are assessed by state examiners during testing. States share CDL and clearinghouse data via federal systems (CDLIS, FMCSA Clearinghouse) to verify qualifications across states.
