“Indian” man charged in U.S. with smuggling people across the border from Canada
A federal grand jury charged an Indian man with smuggling a dozen people from Canada into the United States.
The U.S. Justice Department says 22-year-old Shivam Lnu allegedly smuggled Indian nationals across the U.S.-Canada border into Clinton County in New York.
Citing court documents, the department alleges the suspect directed and coordinated the human trafficking operation for several months between January and June 2025.
The DOJ says U.S. Border Patrol agents tried to stop two vehicles travelling one behind another near the border on Jan. 26, 2025.
