Border Patrol arrests four in failed smuggling attempt in upstate New York

Release Date: March 23, 2020


Fort Covington, N.Y. – U.S. Border Patrol Agents from the Burke and Massena Border Patrol Stations arrested four individuals in connection with a failed smuggling attempt on Wednesday.

On March 18, Border Patrol agents attempted to stop a vehicle that was suspected of being involved with an alien smuggling event. The driver of the vehicle was observed transporting three individuals on State Route 37 near Fort Covington.


Border Patrol Agents attempted to stop the vehicle, however, as the vehicle appeared to be stopping, three occupants exited the vehicle and then the driver sped up in an attempt to flee.


As the driver continued to flee, she crashed her vehicle into several Border Patrol vehicles and was ultimately apprehended by agents.


Agents successfully apprehended the three occupants. Two were determined to be citizens of India and the third was a citizen of Italy. All three were found to be illegally present in the United States. There were no reported injuries during the incident. Border Patrol transported the driver to the hospital for precautionary measures.


The driver was charged with Alien Smuggling, in violation of Title 8 U.S.C. Section 1324. Alien smuggling is a felony, which carries a penalty of a fine and up to 5 years in prison. All three occupants in the vehicle were found to have illegally entered the United States from Canada through the St. Regis Mohawk Indian Reservation and were charged with Improper Entry by an Alien, in violation of Title 8 U.S.C. Section 1325, a misdemeanor.


“We have incredible agents that work day and night to secure our nation’s border”, said Burke Station’s Patrol Agent in Charge Chris Buskey, “Thanks to their efforts, another smuggling attempt has been denied.”

Deport the illegal aliens back over the FIRST border they illegally crossed...Canada.

Let Canadian officials escort them to their Embassy or Consulate to make their travel arrangement back home. Drive them directly to the airport.

The US taxpayers are not their travel agent.

No more FREE flights back and we pay for it. Their Embassy pays the costs!

If they do not pay these costs then no more Visas to those countries.


These countries need to stop allowing these illegals into their country and continuing their journey over our border! We will not take them in.

"OPERATION RETURN TO SENDER"

WE WANT 40 MILLION ILLEGALS, VISA OVERSTAYS, DAPA, AND DACA TO GO HOME!

Canada Will Return Asylum Seekers to U.S.

And the USA should take them to their Embassy or Consulate here, make their travel arrangements, they pay for it, then escort them right to the airplane.

They do not pay for their citizens to fly home then NO more Visas will be issued to that country! They take them back and THEY pay for it.


We are not their travel agent for taxpayer funded free flights.
