PORTLAND (NEWS CENTER) -- A man prosecutors considered a ring leader in bringing illegal immigrants to Maine to get drivers licenses has pleaded guilty.

64-year-old Carlos Da Silva of Portland pleaded guilty Friday to 11 counts of transporting illegal aliens for profit to further their legal status.

Prosecutors say Da Silva and an accomplice helped more than 25 illegal immigrants get Maine driver's licenses.

State law now mandates that a person applying for a driver's license must be a resident of the state and prove they are here legally.
