Summary
Marcus Coleman said Democratic lawmakers showed "ignorance" on sanctuary city policies and rejected their sympathy at a Capitol Hill hearing, saying none had contacted his family outside the committee room.
Tuesday's testimony centered on his 7-year-old daughter Dalilah, who was permanently disabled after a 2024 California crash that DHS says was caused by Partap Singh, an undocumented truck driver from India.
DHS said the 18-wheeler was traveling about 60 mph, failed to stop for traffic and a construction zone, and that Singh had obtained a commercial driver's license in California.
Coleman told Fox he survives on about four hours of sleep while caring for Dalilah and working nights, arguing his family's ordeal shows the stakes in the broader immigration and sanctuary-city debate.
