Summary
A Canadian-American man named Rahsontanohstha Delormier has pleaded guilty to smuggling aliens for profit, admitting his role in a deadly operation that killed a Romanian family of four and another driver on the St. Lawrence River last March. His boat failed, forcing a risky handoff in rough weather that ended in catastrophe. Facing up to 15 years in prison, Delormier joins several co-conspirators already convicted, while one suspect, Stephanie Square, remains awaiting trial. This case exposes the human cost of illegal border crossings and the chilling pursuit of profit over safety. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
