According to documents, a U.S. Border Patrol in North Dakota stopped a 15-passenger van just south of the Canadian border on Wednesday. Shand was driving and court documents allege he was with two undocumented Indian nationals. Around the same time, court documents said five other people were spotted by law enforcement in the snow nearby. Court documents said he told officers it belonged to a family who had become separated from the group overnight. American authorities allege in court documents that Shand has likely been involved in other border crossings, including two recent incidents in December.
