A significant arrest was made in the war on human trafficking on Saturday when the alleged leader of a major human-smuggling organization was apprehended by ICE special agents in Brazil.
Reza Sahami, a suspect with dual Canadian and Iranian citizenship, was found guiding a group of seven Iranian nationals in the city of Assis Brasil near the Brazilian-Peruvian border. The seven Iranians possessed fraudulent or altered passports from Israel, Denmark, and Canada, an ICE press release states.
