NEW YORK, Sept 17, 1931 – In a shocking revelation, a massive alien smuggling ring with ties to the infamous Tammany Hall organization has been brought to light. Federal officials have arrested several high-ranking suspects, including seven men and two attorneys, who were arraigned yesterday for conspiracy to violate immigration laws. The ring, estimated to have collected over $100 million in the past decade, has been the subject of speculation for years, with some Tammany leaders suspected of receiving kickbacks from the operation.
