WASHINGTON—A Florida man is set to appear in U.S. court today, charged with sneaking migrants across the Canada−U.S. border in a perilous human−smuggling scheme that cost the lives of four people, including an infant.

Steve Shand, 47, will appear by video before a Minnesota judge for a detention and preliminary hearing.
