美国逮捕一名参与偷渡也门人的约旦公民

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.

约旦公民阿尔戴利被指控试图把6名也门人偷渡到美国。阿尔戴利星期六抵达纽约肯尼迪机场后被逮捕。

居住在墨西哥蒙特雷的阿尔戴利被指参与了一项收取费用，把6名也门人从墨西哥边界偷渡到美国的计划，美国司法部没有说这些也门人现在何处、是什么人、以及他们想进入美国的理由。

不过，司法部称这些人为“特殊关注外国人”。美国政府经常用这种说法描述那些来自有恐怖主义问题家的潜在移民。

美国联邦法官下令把阿尔戴利关押在纽约，等候递解到德克萨斯州。
