The United States on April 07 imposed sanctions on a Pakistani national and a smuggling organization it said he runs to help people migrate illegally from Pakistan and Afghanistan into the United States.
The U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Abid Ali Khan and the transnational criminal organization he allegedly runs, calling it “a prolific human smuggling organization." It said some of the people who have been smuggled into the United States may pose a national security risk.
Khan’s organization has facilitated the smuggling of foreign nationals through Latin America since at least 2015, the Treasury Department said in a statement. The average cost was $20,000 per individual, the statement said.
