美國逮捕一名參與偷渡也門人的約旦公民

A federAl judge has ordered a Jordanian national to remain behind bars on charges he tried to smuggle six Yemenis into the United States.

Agents arrested Moayad Heider Mohammad Aldairi Saturday when he arrived at JFK airport in New York.

Aldairi, who lives in Monterrey, Mexico, was allegedly part of a scheme to smuggle six Yemenis across the Mexican border into Texas for a fee. The Justice Department has not said where the Yemenis are now, who they are, or the reason they wanted to enter the U.S.

But it did call them "special interest aliens," the government's term for would-be immigrants from countries where terrorism is a problem.

The judge ordered Aldairi to remain in custody in New York, pending a transfer to Texas.一位美國聯邦法官下令繼續把一名約旦公民關押在監獄。

約旦公民阿爾戴利被指控試圖把6名也門人偷渡到美國。阿爾戴利星期六抵達紐約肯尼迪機場後被逮捕。

居住在墨西哥蒙特雷的阿爾戴利被指參與了一項收取費用，把6名也門人從墨西哥邊界偷渡到美國的計劃，美國司法部沒有說這些也門人現在何處、是什麼人、以及他們想進入美國的理由。

不過，司法部稱這些人爲“特殊關注外國人”。美國政府經常用這種說法描述那些來自有恐怖主義問題家的潛在移民。

美國聯邦法官下令把阿爾戴利關押在紐約，等候遞解到德克薩斯州。
