American Woman Pleads Guilty to Smuggling Migrants From Canada to U.S.

Investigators say phone records linked Stacey Taylor to multiple smuggling trips and showed she expected payment for transporting migrants farther into the United States.

  • Stacey Taylor, 43, from Plattsburgh, New York, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and alien smuggling for profit involving people primarily from India crossing the US-Canada border illegally in January 2025.
  • US Border Patrol stopped Taylor's vehicle near Churubusco, New York, on January 20, 2025, and found four men inside who had crossed the border illegally on foot in freezing weather.
  • Taylor's cellphone revealed she received coordinates and instructions to pick up the men, and text messages showed her involvement in multiple smuggling events before and around January 2025.
  • Taylor admitted her role and is scheduled to be sentenced in December 2025, facing a minimum prison sentence of five years.
