Federal authorities say Rajinder Pal Singh had figured out a pretty sweet scam, smuggling illegal immigrants from India across the northern border and into the Seattle area — by putting them in Ubers.
Investigators revealed evidence of more than 90 Uber trips they say showed patterns of smuggling that they connected to Mr. Singh from just one Uber account. And they traced a total of 17 accounts to his organization, according to court documents.
Mr. Singh’s arrest late last month underscored the dangers and vulnerabilities at the northern border, far from the U.S.-Mexico boundary that gets most of the attention these days.
His case also served to highlight the increasing numbers of illegal immigrants from Asia, and particularly India, who are testing that northern border, hoping the path less traveled will give them a chance to sneak by the Border Patrol and attain a foothold in the U.S.
In April, Customs and Border Protection agents and officers nabbed 1,197 Indians at the northern border, or about 13% of all border jumpers along the U.S.-Canada line. They made up less than 1% of encounters at the southern border.
