Ali Mohammed Ali Abdullah, 18, one of the four “British” hikers arrested earlier this month for illegally crossing the Canadian border, pleaded guilty to entering the U.S. without inspection.
On April 3, Abdullah, along with Hameed Mohammed Nagi, Ibrahim Ayyub Khan, and Mohammed Sultan Saleh, crossed the Canadian border into Franklin County.
They were then spotted by workers walking on the Golden Road, a private logging road.
The workers informed Border Patrol, who located the four men.
After the apprehension, Border Patrol agents found that the men had GoPro footage and internet search history showing that they allegedly entered the country illegally intentionally.
Initially, the suspects claimed that they had been hiking and crossed the border accidentally.
Abdullah had previously been in the U.S. and requested a visa extension in March 2025, but his application was denied.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maine, Abdullah intended to work in the U.S. illegally.
He was sentenced to time served, though he is likely to be deported back to the United Kingdom, where he holds citizenship.



SHOOT ON SIGHT,SPIES.
The Golden Road is not in Franklin County although it shares with the Canadian Border. The Golden Road goes through Piscataquis and Somerset Counties
British ??? What a joke. Murdering terrorists
Probably deported? WTF does that mean?
Word from CBP is that they were here to do more than work.
We dodged a bullet.
It’s unbelievable that Schumer and troop of scum want to defund CBP. A big thanks to ICE and the Border Patrol!
