(The Center Square) – The U.S. Department of Justice charged a Nevada father and son Wednesday for allegedly harboring illegal immigrants in the Reno area.
Carlos Recinos-Valdez, 43, and his son Kevin Recinos-Ruano, 20, allegedly sheltered foreign nationals for personal financial gain for almost four years, from July 2021 to March 2025, according to the DOJ.
The criminal complaint against the men alleges they “conspired to exploit vulnerable individuals for profit,” Acting U.S. Attorney Sue Fahami for the District of Nevada said.
“Human smuggling operations threaten our national security,” she said. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to continually working with HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) and our local law enforcement partners to investigate and prosecute those who smuggle illegal aliens into the United States.”
