canadian man: Steve Russell / Toronto Star File Photo By The Associated Press Thu., April 27, 2017 DETROIT A Canadian man has been sentenced to 15 months in a U.S. prison nearly 20 years after he smuggled immigrants across the Detroit River, according to Toronto Star. Justice moved slowly in the case of Thanh Nguyen because he fled home to Ontario, Canada, and didn't appear for his sentence in 2000. Canadian Thanh Nguyen, now 42, was arrested last year for smuggling immigrants across the river in 1999. Nguyen, now 42 years old, was arrested last summer in Windsor, Ontario, a city across the river from Detroit. Nguyen apologized to a judge, saying he was immature at the time. He was sentenced Thursday for smuggling immigrants on a boat back in 1999. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
