"Pair held in Idaho human-smuggling case"
The Associated Press

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — A Canadian citizen faces up to 10 years in prison and $250,000 in fines after pleading guilty to attempting to smuggle 13 South Korean women and one man into northern Idaho.

Authorities say Sang Yoon "Steven" Kim, 29, of Surrey, B.C., was part of a prostitution smuggling ring. He was arrested shortly after midnight April 3 north of Bonners Ferry when U.S. Border Patrol agents, acting on a tip, stopped a recreational vehicle he was driving and discovered the illegal immigrants.

Also arrested was Bum Suk "Michael" Kim, 33, a South Korean citizen who authorities say was in the United States illegally. Michael Kim, no relation to Steven Kim, was charged with felony illegal transportation of an alien. He has entered a plea of not guilty and will go to trial in U.S. District Court in Coeur d'Alene on June 7."
