Border and Enforcement News

A federal grand jury recently indicted two Syrian men on charges of impersonating U.S. citizens after Border Patrol agents stopped them in southern Arizona and found an undocumented immigrant in their car. The two men told Border Patrol agents that they were naturalized U.S. citizens born in Syria, but agents found they were in the country unlawfully. Authorities have not yet established a link between the pair and the undocumented Mexican man in their car, except that they were all in the same vehicle. The two men are being held in federal custody until trial.

A man accused of helping smuggle more than 20 immigrants into the United States from the Middle East was arrested in Jordan recently. The man was part of a conspiracy that helped issue forged documents for people from the Middle East to travel to the Milwaukee area. The visas allowed people to travel to the United States for up to a year for work or recreation, but the foreigners weren’t entitled to them because they were obtained with forged papers, according to the Associated Press. The FBI’s Milwaukee office was told of the arrest last week, as the man was wanted on an Interpol warrant after a December indictment issued by the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Some of the undocumented immigrants involved were returned to Jordan and others are still in the U.S. They remain under investigation and will eventually be sent home.
