U.S. border patrol arrests two Canadians in human smuggling investigation
REGINA — Authorities in the United States say two Canadian citizens and one person from Nigeria have been apprehended as part of an investigation into human smuggling.
The United States Border Patrol says agents picked up the three people last Friday between the North Portal and Northgate crossings, the legal entry points into Saskatchewan from North Dakota.
It was not immediately clear whether the people are still in custody or if charges have been laid.
The investigation has already led to the arrest and charges against a Saskatchewan woman.
