Canadian cab driver Juan Antonio Garcia-Jimenez cried in federal court in Detroit Monday as he apologized for a scam to smuggle illegal immigrants into the United States through a railroad tunnel under the Detroit River.
The 53-year-old Canadian resident collected at least $8,680 from nine illegal immigrants he directed through a walkway along an underground train tunnel that stretches 1.6 miles between Ontario, Canada and Detroit, Fox 2 reports.
Prosecutors told the court Garcia-Jimenez dropped the immigrants off at the tunnel on the Canadian side and told them when to go through to avoid cargo trains, a trek that’s extremely risky because the walkway is only 17 inches wide and in disrepair.
