DETROIT—A Canadian cab driver who made extra money by steering desperate illegal immigrants to a railroad tunnel under the Detroit River was sentenced on April 15 to 16 months in a prison in the United States.
Juan Garcia-Jimenez, a 53-year-old Canadian citizen who is a native of Guatemala, wept in federal court. Besides a prison sentence, he was fined $8,680—the amount paid by six people who were caught last year when they emerged on foot on the Detroit side of the tunnel.
