The man accused of attempting to smuggle across the Canada-U.S. border a family, all four of whom died, will appear in court in Minnesota on Monday.

FARGO, N.D. -- Under cover of darkness, strafed by bitter winds and obscured by a swirling blizzard, four people plodded through deep snow and deadly cold, aiming to cross an invisible threshold that held the promise of a better life.

Steve Shand, 47, will appear by video before a Minnesota judge for a detention and preliminary hearing. Shand, of Deltona, Fla., faces a single charge of transporting or attempting to transport illegal aliens. Court documents say there were two other undocumented Indian nationals in the van with Shand when he was pulled over Wednesday, and a group of five more were spotted making their own way south at around the same time.

On Jan. 12, agents found prints that "matched the brand of the types of boots worn by five of the seven foreign nationals arrested in the current smuggling event," the documents say.

The guy has no heart for doing what he did

That was a tragedy, but what else about the border that is also a tragedy is Trudeaus vaccine mandate for Can/US truckers? Thank him when we run out of fresh produce grown down south.

How far were those people supposed to walk? In dark and blizzard how did they even know what direction they were going? They must have known pretty fast they were doomed. Guy should get the death penalty...but canada....

Were they trying to go to the US or Canada?
