New York woman pleads guilty to smuggling Indians into US through Canada border

<p>New York, Aug 12 (PTI): A New York woman has pleaded guilty to her role in an international smuggling conspiracy that illegally brought people, primarily from India, into the United States across its northern border.</p><p>Stacey Taylor, 43, of Plattsburgh, New York, was involved in a failed human smuggling operation in January 2025 involving people from India who were illegally brought into the United States.</p><p>According to court documents, US Border Patrol agents stopped Taylor’s vehicle near Churubusco, New York, in the early morning hours of January 20, 2025, and discovered four men inside her vehicle.</p><p>Agents then determined that the four men -- three from India and one from Canada -- had just illegally crossed the US-Canadian border without inspection in freezing weather.</p><p>When law enforcement later examined Taylor’s cellphone, they found that she had received coordinates showing the individuals’ location and instructions to pick them up. The four men had illegally entered the United States on foot through a wooded area before getting into Taylor’s waiting vehicle. She then drove them away from the border and further into the US.</p><p>After law enforcement stopped her vehicle, Taylor admitted that she picked up the four men and expected to receive payment for doing so.</p><p>A further review of Taylor’s phone revealed text messages indicating that she had been involved in multiple other human smuggling events in the days before the incident.</p><p>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><p>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.

Imran Khan’s party leader criticises killing of gunman in Pak's Rawalpindi

<p> Peshawar, Aug 11 (PTI): A senior Khyber Pakhtunkhwa leader from jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's party on Tuesday criticised the killing of a gunman who allegedly opened fire at a check post near the army's General Headquarters in Pakistan's Rawalpindi.</p><p> Earlier in the day, a gunman opened fire at security officers, prompting them to retaliate.

A PTI flag, bullets and weapons were also recovered from him, it added.</p><p> Meanwhile, the party's Islamabad regional president, Amir Mughal, said the party believed in peaceful and unarmed political struggle and rejected any attempt to associate it with acts of violence.</p><p> The party has been trying to mobilise masses to protest against the incarceration of its founder Imran Khan, who has been in jail since August 5, 2023.
