Indian National Who Wrecked Car, Hospitalized Passengers, Pleads Guilty to Migrant Smuggling

AZ Sun Times

An Indian national will face jail time and deportation after leading an illegal migrant smuggling scheme that ended horribly.

Aryan Deshwal, a 21-year-old man from India, pleaded guilty on Monday to conspiracy to commit alien smuggling and five counts of alien smuggling, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Deshwal attempted to smuggle five illegal migrants from Canada into the country in November 2024, but totaled his vehicle when fleeing from Border Patrol agents, leaving his passengers hospitalized.

“This case illustrates the dangers of alien smuggling, and how smuggling networks put people and federal agents in harm’s way for profit,” Acting U.S. Attorney John Sarcone said in a public statement.

“Aryan Deshwal endangered the lives of the illegal aliens he picked up, the Border Patrol agents who were trying to stop him, and other people on the road,” Sarcone continued. “Thankfully, he was arrested, prosecuted and will be held accountable for his crimes.”
