A Bangladeshi man was sentenced to 46 months in prison followed by "three years of supervised release" for his role in trafficking Bangladeshis into the United States via Mexico.

The convict -- Moktar Hossain -- admitted that between March 2017 and August 2018, he trafficked Bangladeshi nationals into the USA through the Texas border in exchange for payments.

Moktar operated out of Monterrey, Mexico, where he maintained accommodation in a hotel that housed migrants on their way to the United States. He paid drivers to transport them to the US-Mexico border, and gave the migrants instruction on how to cross the Rio Grande River, according to a statement issued today by the US Embassy in Dhaka.
