Dalilah Coleman was just five years old when she suffered a traumatic brain injury and multiple skull fractures after an 18‑wheel tractor‑trailer driven by an illegal alien smashed into her family’s stopped car in Adelanto, California, in the Mojave Desert.
President Donald Trump highlighted the awful story during his February 24 State of the Union address, and following that, Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) introduced the “Dalilah Law,” which would bar states from giving CDLs to illegal immigrants, revoke all trucking licenses that are currently issued to illegals, and mandate that the CDL knowledge and skills test are only given in English.
But did California Gov. Gavin Newsom care about the plight of the young girl or contact her family? No, according to a new report from the Daily Caller, which states that not only did Newsom make no effort to reach out to them, but his denials that Dalilah’s father never wrote them are provably untrue:
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office claims it has no records of outreach from a family irreparably harmed by an illegal migrant truck driver, but phone records show otherwise.
Newsom staffers have repeatedly stated that their constituent affairs team has zero records of outreach from Dalilah Coleman’s family after she was struck by an illegal migrant trucker in June 2024 and left with life-altering injuries.
However, call logs obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation confirm Marcus Coleman, Dalilah’s father, reached out to Newsom’s office just days after the horrific crash and left a message.
🚨 SCOOP: The father of Dalilah Coleman — the little girl Trump highlighted at the State of the Union after she was paralyzed by an illegal migrant truck driver — DID call Gavin Newsom’s office.
Newsom’s team says they have “no record.”

Phone logs obtained by Daily Caller News Foundation say otherwise.

Dalilah’s father said it was like calling into a corporate phone bank where nobody actually cares about your issue, and most of the responses were likely generated by AI. That’s my version of what he said; here’s his:
“It would be equivalent to somebody cold calling because I called them and I explained to them what was going on,” Coleman told the DCNF. “They said that they would take the phone message, so I did that and then I also sent them an email, and then I received nothing back on either one.”
7-year-old Dalilah Coleman has to learn to walk and talk again because of the failed leadership under @CAGovernor!
This CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIEN should never have had a commercial driver’s license in the first place.
We are fighting for Americans like Dalilah. https://t.co/Vm71nbd4w5

Gavin’s presidential dreams have taken numerous hits in recent months, and this will only add to the pile.
THE TRUTH IS COMING OUT: Chevron Fires Off Blistering Letter to Newsom Warning Proposed Climate Policy Will Decimate CA
Why do writers like me keep attacking Gavin Newsom, many ask. Who cares? He’s the failed leader of a failed blue-state administration.
It’s simple: we’ve seen him destroy one of the formerly greatest states in the union, and we don’t want to see him take his America-last vision to the rest of the country.
Despite his recent setbacks, he remains a threat to achieve a higher office — the presidency. If you don’t believe me, remember that Joe Biden was a laughable historical footnote before he miraculously earned a supposed 81 million votes in 2020 and proceeded to torture the country for four long years.
Kamala Harris somehow garnered over 75 million votes in her failed ’24 presidential campaign, proving that it’s not just a California voter problem we face.
And all along, Newsom has continued to ascend despite his record of staggering failure.
This is yet another in a long line of instances where Gov. Hair Gel has been revealed to not actually give a damn about the Golden State or the people of California, but is only interested in how he can benefit himself and his political career.
Editor’s Note: California is the poster child for everything that is wrong with the Democrat Party and the “progressive” movement.
