According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Bangor, 38-year-old Manuel Bonilla Davila and 36-year-old Eduardo Ruiz Rojas were arrested by U.S. Border Patrol agents in April 2023 near the Canadian border in Aroostook County.
They each face up to two years in prison and a $250,000 fine for violating federal immigration law.
