Border Patrol Intercepts Illegals Crossing River Into Michigan
U.S. authorities say they intercepted illegal aliens being smuggled into Michigan via a river on the northern border.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a press release this week detailing a smuggling attempt that unfolded last month in waters north of Detroit.
On June 25, U.S. Border Patrol agents observed a suspicious vessel make landfall near Marysville Station after crossing from the Canadian side of the St. Clair River, which connects Lake Huron with Lake St. Clair and serves as the international boundary.
“The vessel dropped off three passengers who then got into a waiting vehicle,” CBP said.
“Collaborative efforts between U.S. and Canadian law enforcement partners resulted in the arrest of the driver of the vessel after he returned to Canada.”
The illegal aliens were also apprehended but CBP did not release any information about them.
However, they were all charged with “reentry after removal” by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan, indicating they had likely been previously deported.
“Our commitment to our community’s safety was on full display here. Using all our assets we were able to end a smuggling operation,” said Chief Patrol Agent John R. Morris of the Detroit Border Patrol Sector.
