FILE - Road signage is posted just outside of Emerson, Manitoba on Thursday, Jan. 20, 2022. A man accused of helping to lead a human smuggling operation that was implicated in the deaths of a family of four from India — who froze while trying to walk across the Canada-U.S. border during a blizzard in 2022 — had been warned about dangerous weather conditions before the group set out on the trip, court papers alleged. A man accused of helping smuggle people across the U.S.
In a recent court document, an agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Patel has been refused a U.S. visa at least five times, including four at U.S. consulates in India and once at the U.S. consulate in Ottawa, Canada. He is in the U.S. illegally, the agent said. The migrants would work for substandard wages at Indian restaurants while they paid off debt to the smugglers, according to the court documents.
According to a series of messages sent via WhatsApp, Shand told Patel, “Make sure everyone is dressed for the blizzard conditions please.” Patel replied, “Done.” Then Shand remarked, “We not losing any money.”
