AKWESASNE -- A man who lives in the St. Regis Village portion of Akwesasne will spend time in federal prison for harboring two Chilean citizens who were illegally in the United States.

Dylan Joseph David, 26, of St. Regis, Quebec, was sentenced Friday to 16 months in prison, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release, for harboring two illegal aliens. David was also sentenced to an additional 10 months in prison for violating the conditions of a term of federal supervised release that was imposed for a prior federal conviction, according to U.S. Attorney Richard Hartunian.

In July, David pled guilty to harboring two illegal aliens for the purpose of commercial advantage and private financial gain. David harbored two women from Chile at a motel in Fort Covington in March 2016 after the Chileans snuck across the border into the United States, Hartunian said.

David’s conviction for harboring aliens was one of several violations of his federal supervised release for a prior drug crime, for which Judge Hurd imposed an additional 10 months of imprisonment, Hartunian said.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Border Patrol and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward P. Grogan.
