"The department's continuous vetting includes all of the more than 55 million foreigners who currently hold valid U.S. visas," a State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital. 

The spokesperson added that the department cancels visas when there are "indications of a potential ineligibility, which includes things like any indicators of overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity or providing support to a terrorist organization."

The information the department is reviewing in the vetting process includes law enforcement records and "any other information that comes to light" after the visa is issued that could indicate ineligibility.

Harjinder Singh is accused of making an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike, causing an accident that killed three people. It is unclear how he obtained his license, as he failed an English proficiency assessment and could not correctly identify several highway signs. Singh has since been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide.

On Thursday, Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins traveled to California to take custody of Singh, who fled there after the crash. Collins vowed that Florida would hold Singh accountable and ensure justice was served.
