Border Patrol Stops Human Smuggling Outfit Using Canadian Crossings

U.S. Border Patrol agents have arrested four Mexican nationals living illegally in the U.S. who agents said weekly brought hundreds of illegal aliens into the country using Canadian border points of entry. Many were dropped in areas of northern New York state.
The Department of Justice released information on the case and said all four are being detained following their arrests. Two of the men involved had previously been deported but returned to the U.S.
Agents said on more than one occasion, the accused smugglers "repeatedly engaged in life-threatening conduct, including multiple high-speed getaways from law enforcement."
The specifics of how the four men were tracked down and arrested have not been released. A cooperative federal law enforcement program called Joint Task Force Alpha (JTFA) played a key role in the arrests, according to Border Patrol Agent Robert Garcia.
