A group of brazen "coyotes" smuggling migrants over the northern U.S. border are using TikTok to advertise their operations.

"Payment after reach," one post read, the New York Post reported.

The passage services run up to $5,000, as posts periodically pop up and quickly are deleted from the platform, according to the report, which noted at least six coyote accounts.

The Post sought out services for $4,500 from Montreal to New York State.

"When you ready to go, send me your ID," a coyote told the undercover Post reporter.

The services detail a two-hour car ride and a 25-minute walk through an unguarded forest, taking five migrants at a time on a "group walk," according to the Post.

"The service was outstanding, we have come through very easily," an alleged illegal migrant from India reported noted on a post as a testimonial.

While the southern border makes headlines, the Canada-U.S. border is the largest land border in the world, and it remains largely unguarded amid the focus south.

"They call it a border, but you can cross anytime you want," Kwantlen Polytechnic University political scientist Shinder Purewal told the Post.

"It's really an undefended border. Nobody is on basically either side."

But President Donald Trump said he is going to bust these Canadian smugglers.

"This type of behavior is indicative of the culture of incompetence and just how brazen drug trafficking and human smuggling had become under the previous administration," Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., told the Post.

"Well, I've got news for these criminals — there's a new sheriff in town."

When contacted about the report, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., called for an investigation.

"The Department of Justice should investigate how these apps are being utilized for nefarious activity and get cooperation from the companies that operate them," Malliotakis told the Post.
