In a significant ruling, the head of a human smuggling operation has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after a family of four from India tragically froze to death while crossing the US-Canada border during a brutal blizzard. The two men involved in this smuggling plot faced serious consequences, with one receiving a 6½-year sentence. This incident has sparked outrage and raised concerns about human trafficking practices along the border, highlighting the devastating consequences of this illegal activity. The court underscored the indifference of the smugglers, noting that their primary concern was profit, rather than the safety of the individuals they were transporting.
