A 31 year old Akwesasne man has pleaded guilty to smuggling illegal aliens into the United States from Canada. Court documents show that on February 8, 2010, Akwesasne Mohawk Police officers in Canada alerted Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal Police Department officers and U.S. Border Patrol agents to a vehicle that crossed the "ice bridge" from Cornwall Island, Ontario, to St. Regis Village, Quebec, and proceeded into Franklin County, New York. After law enforcement officers in New York observed the vehicle drop off a person in Hogansburg, they attempted to stop the vehicle for an immigration inspection. The driver, later identified as Martin, attempted to flee but was apprehended. The person that Martin dropped off was an illegal alien who had just been commercially smuggled into the United States from Canada through the Saint Regis Mohawk Reservation. Martin received part of the smuggling fee, according to the smuggled alien.
