MORE SMUGGLING INDICTMENTS


May 18, 2000

DETROIT, MICHIGAN -- A federal sting on an alleged plot to smuggle illegal immigrants to the United States from China broadened Wednesday with grand jurors indicting six more defendants, bringing to 11 the number accused.

The government has said the plot from February through early this month involved efforts to get illegal visas at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in bids to sneak 425 illegal Asian immigrants into Michigan. The indictments allege immigrant smuggling, conspiracy and bribery. According to the indictments in the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service sting dubbed "Operation Squeeze Play," an agent posing as an inspector provided fraudulent entry visas for six Chinese nationals he let enter the country March 18, then 10 more entry visas used March 30. .

The six new defendants are Huang Xin Qin, Ren Huan Cui, Susan Cui, Hip Chow and his daughters Ellis Chow and Jennifer Chow.
