墨西哥籍男子桑切斯-索利斯参与跨加边境人口走私共谋 被判5年监禁
司法部10月15日通报，27岁的墨西哥籍男子埃德加·桑切斯-索利斯（Edgar Sanchez-Solis）当天被判处5年监禁，罪名是参与一项国际人口走私共谋：该组织将来自墨西哥与中南美洲的外国人经加拿大北部边境偷运入美。
根据法庭文件，桑切斯-索利斯非法居住在密苏里州Kansas City期间是该走私组织的头目之一；该组织偷运了数百名外国人入境，再安排司机将他们送往美国内地。2023年5月的一次偷运中，一辆载有被偷运者的厢式车与边境巡逻队发生高速追逐，巡逻队出于公共安全中止追赶，当地治安部门最终用破胎装置将车截停。他此前已就一项人口走私共谋罪与五项以牟利为目的的偷运罪认罪。
司法部刑事司助理总检察长A·泰森·杜瓦（A. Tysen Duva）表示，桑切斯-索利斯从危害北部边境安全、并置执法人员与被偷运者于险境的勾当里牟利。此案由国土安全调查处（HSI）水牛城办公室与边境巡逻队调查。
Mexican National Sanchez-Solis Sentenced to Five Years for Northern Border Smuggling Conspiracy
The Justice Department said on October 15 that Edgar Sanchez-Solis, 27, a Mexican national, was sentenced that day to five years in prison for his role in an international human smuggling conspiracy that brought aliens from Mexico and Central and South America across the northern border with Canada into the United States.
According to court documents, Sanchez-Solis was a leader of the smuggling organization while living illegally in Kansas City, Missouri; the organization smuggled hundreds of aliens into the country and used drivers to move them further into the interior. During one run in May 2023, a van carrying smuggled aliens led Border Patrol on a high-speed chase that agents broke off for public safety, before a local sheriff's department stopped the vehicle with a tire-deflation device. He previously pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit alien smuggling and five counts of alien smuggling for financial gain.
Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Criminal Division said Sanchez-Solis profited from a scheme that undermined northern border security and put law enforcement officers and the smuggled aliens in harm's way. HSI Buffalo and the Border Patrol investigated the case.
