Derrick Terelle Sankey drove migrants who had entered the U.S. illegally in Starr and Hidalgo counties along the Rio Grande.
A former Alabama National Guard soldier pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to driving migrants from the Mexican border into Texas while he was deployed to assist Customs and Border Protection.
Sankey’s pay in the scheme was based on the number of migrants being transported in each event, the documents said. He pleaded not guilty and had been waiting nearly three years for his jury trial when a federal grand jury indicted him last month on a second charge of human smuggling. Former President Donald Trump in April 2018 ordered National Guard troops to serve at the southwest border and President Joe Biden has continued that mission.
