Quebec immigration experts and advocates say a plan to close Roxham Road to asylum seekers may go against Canada's international obligations and could result in more deaths at the border, after an already deadly year.
Rozana Ryan, 22, was out on the town Friday night with two friends when she started to feel dizzy. One of her friends took her home and she passed out with four hours. Now she is sharing her story to help spread awareness.
Quebec's immigration minister says all but a small number of asylum seekers who entered the country through Roxham Road over the weekend were redirected to other parts of Canada. Christine Fréchette says she hopes that becomes the norm moving forward.
Several U.S. border patrol agents are giving migrants lifts to an irregular border crossing into Canada in exchange for money, according to information obtained by Radio-Canada sources.
