A brazen border bust in rural Maine caught a 27-year-old UK citizen trying to sneak into the US without inspection.
Ibrahim Ayyub Khan, 27, and three other men were spotted walking down the Golden Road in Somerset County during the pre-dawn hours of April 3, 2026.
The men, who claimed to be UK citizens, were taken into custody by US Border Patrol and Customs agents without incident.
Khan and the others were transported back to the Jackman Border Patrol station, where they were questioned about their citizenship.
Khan now faces up to six months in prison and a $5,000 fine after pleading guilty to entering the US without inspection.
The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative to crack down on illegal immigration and transnational crime.
