In providing new details on the largest smuggling operation ever broken up on the U.S. northern border, they said the ring smuggled the Chinese immigrants from Canada through the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation on their way to New York City. Of the 35 people arrested in the two countries, eight were American Indians who allegedly conspired with the ring to bring the young men from China's Fujian Province into the United States over the past two years, the officials said. ----end of excerpt-----
