A Mexican man, illegally present in the United States, pleaded guilty in federal court to smuggling other Mexican migrants from Canada into New York. He also pleaded guilty to illegal possession of a firearm.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York announced that Rey Felix-Rubio, a 32-year-old Mexican national, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit alien smuggling and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Agents responded to the area after another camera detected five people walking south from the Canadian border about a half-mile from where the Jeep was spotted. The agents made a vehicle stop after finding the SUV and noticing multiple people inside. During an immigration interview, agents identified the driver as Felix-Rubio who admitted he has illegally entered the United States in 2021, the criminal complaint states.
The migrants told Border Patrol agents they paid an initial deposit of $2,000 and would be picked up near the border by “Rey.” Felix-Rubio was then to drive them to Virginia where they would pay an additional $1,000. During an interview with Border Patrol agents, Felix-Rubio said he illegally crossed the border from Mexico into Arizona in November 2021 and remained in the U.S. since that time. He told the agents he was going to be paid approximately $5,000 to smuggle the five Mexican migrants into the U.S. He added that the vehicle and the gun belonged to his uncle and had been in his possession since leaving North Carolina.
