REGINA — RCMP say they have charged a woman with human smuggling after intercepting nine refugee claimants crossing the border into Saskatchewan from the United States. Mounties say the nine came over at a point between the North Portal and Northgate border crossings on Friday. They say a 43-year-old woman driving north was arrested after being stopped with nine people from West Africa in her vehicle. Michelle Omoruyi is charged with human smuggling and conspiracy to commit human smuggling. The people being transported were processed by border services agents and released pending resolution of the refugee claims.
