The four men had illegally entered the United States on foot through a wooded area before getting into Taylor&#8217;s waiting vehicle. She then drove them away from the border and further into the US.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">After law enforcement stopped her vehicle, Taylor admitted that she picked up the four men and expected to receive payment for doing so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">A further review of Taylor&#8217;s phone revealed text messages indicating that she had been involved in multiple other human smuggling events in the days before the incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Following her January 2025 arrest, she was stopped in a suspected smuggling venture in August 2025 and again implicated in alien smuggling in September 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Taylor pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in alien smuggling and four counts of alien smuggling for profit. She is scheduled to be sentenced in December and faces a statutory minimum penalty of five years in prison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York, A New York woman has pleaded guilty to her role in an international smuggling conspiracy that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164362,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[52789,17,52787,4828,27724,52788],"class_list":["post-164361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-alien-smuggling","tag-canada","tag-human-smuggling","tag-new-york","tag-plattsburgh","tag-us-canadian-border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
