“Earlier today, in federal court in Central Islip, Hema Patel, a Texas-based bail bondswoman, was sentenced by United States District Judge Denis R. Hurley to three years imprisonment for her role in smuggling hundreds of illegal aliens into the United States. The Court also ordered Patel to forfeit her Texas residence, two hotels, $7.2 million in bail bonds, $400,000 in cash and 11 gold bars, among other assets. On June 7, 2018, Patel pleaded guilty to alien smuggling for financial gain by fraudulently bonding illegal aliens from immigration custody and causing their release into the United States.
Richard P. Donoghue, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and Angel M. Melendez, Special Agent-in-Charge, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), New York, announced the sentence.
For her personal financial gain, defendant Hema Patel arranged to have hundreds of aliens smuggled into the United States, completely by-passing the visa application and eligibility requirements, stated United States Attorney Donoghue. She will now pay the price for placing the safety and security of the residents of our communities at risk. Border security is a top priority of the Department of Justice.
In a classic example of how criminal networks exploit loopholes in our nations immigration system to make a profit while threatening the national security of the United States, Hema Patel and her human smuggling co-conspirators manufactured fraudulent bond documents to secure the release of undocumented aliens that were smuggled through the southwest border by an international criminal network, stated HSI Special Agent-in-Charge Melendez. HSI remains steadfast in its commitment to secure our nations legitimate travel, trade and finance by going after transnational criminal networks, their facilitators and their ill-gained assets.

Each of you has suffered tremendously for your faith
Each of you has now become a witness to the importance of advancing religious liberty all around the world
In America weve always understood that our rights come from God, not from government
On defending religious freedom: I dont think any president has taken it as seriously as me
Sam Brownback also spoke, and highlighted some of the individuals in the room, including a woman who was held in a Sudanese jail while pregnant, a man who was present at the Christchurch mosque shooting, and woman who had been taken hostage by ISIS.
Members of the assembled group thanked President Trump for his efforts on religious freedom.
