Haitian Migrants Intercepted Near Quebec Border on Christmas Night

 


Nineteen Haitian migrants were intercepted by the RCMP on Christmas after crossing irregularly into Quebec from the United States during frigid weather conditions.

Police say the group, which included adults, a toddler, and a three‑year‑old child, entered Canada near Havelock in the Montérégie region, a few kilometres north of the New York border. U.S. authorities alerted Canadian officers early in the evening, prompting a coordinated search along the wooded border area.

The RCMP says the investigation is ongoing as officials determine next steps in processing the asylum seekers.
