A New Jersey man has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for transporting a group of Irish nationals, including children, who had illegally crossed the US-Canada border into Vermont.
44-year-old Tyshan Murray of Elizabeth, New Jersey, was sentenced last week. In addition to the prison term, he was ordered to serve three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to unlawfully transporting aliens in furtherance of their unlawful entry into the US.
