NY POST:
Brazen Canadian ‘coyotes’ smuggling migrants across the northern border
— even advertising on TikTok
https://nypost.com/2025/02/15/us-news/smugglers-advertising-illegal-canada-us-border-crossings-on-tiktok/"Smugglers are brazenly using TikTok to advertise their
human-trafficking services across the Canada-US border — undercutting
the Great White North’s position as it tries to hammer out a critical
deal with the US on tariffs and security, The Post has learned.
For close to a year, the Canadian “coyotes” — who largely target Indian
nationals — promise a hassle-free trip to the States for as much as
$5,000, with new border-crossing accounts popping up every time others
are removed from the platform.
The posts often feature a US flag waving over a wooded northern border,
set to Indian music, urging wannabe border crossers to DM them for more
details.
“Payment after reach,” reads one post, while another assures “100%
safe.”
Northern crossings have fallen from an average of around 4,500 Indian
nationals nabbed each month before President Trump took office, to 2,900
since, according to US Customs and Border Protection data — but the Post
has identified at least half a dozen of these coyote accounts still
operating on TikTok.
The Post contacted one smuggler, who said it would cost $4,500 for one
person to get to cross into the Empire State from Montreal.
“When you ready to go, send me your ID,” he said.
The trips leave from either Montreal; Brampton, outside Toronto; and
Surrey, outside Vancouver. They deliver migrants to upstate New York or
Washington state, according to the TikTok accounts the Post has
reviewed.
For smugglers, Indian nationals make up a niche market, but a thriving
one.
In 2024, Indians made up almost a quarter of those apprehended crossing
the United States’ northern border illegally — by far the largest group,
according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
Each day, more than 100 Indian nationals, on average, are caught by
agents at the Canada-US border. The number has tripled in the last two
years, according to the data.
Most often, they enter Canada on student visas. Last year, the country’s
department of immigration estimated 50,000 students were let in but
never showed up to school. Twenty thousand of them were from India.
Trump threatened earlier this month to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian
exports to the US, saying it was not doing enough to police its side of
the border.
The US agreed to stall the tariffs for 30 days, after Canadian Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau promised to push ahead with a $1.3 billion
border security plan that includes 10,000 people to patrol the border
and 24/7 surveillance with the use of drones and helicopters..."
