On this blog, we used to post information about our visits to the border at Roxham Road, USA side. Since the closure of Roxham Road on Friday 24 March 2023, we're attempting to keep a log of the info we have about refugees who have been returned to the US. We're also now posting blogs about our personal experiences at the border. Sur ce blogue, nous avons affiché des informations sur nos visites à la frontière, Roxham Road, États Unis.

Sunday December 24, 2017, 4pm. Roxham Road, Champlain USA. It's bitterly cold and we arrive a bit late. While we wait a US border police truck pulls up and we have an amicable exchange with the officer. We may not see eye to eye but he makes no effort to deter us from coming here in future. During our wait only one asylum seeker arrives: a young Somali woman who has come all the way from a state in the midwest. A relative has helped her to get here. She is very stressed and afraid, as is everyone, and she has to face crossing into Canada on her own.

AuthorThe earlier border visit reports were written by the volunteers who were at the border on that day, the later updates about the situation in the US are an attempt to keep a log of what we find out through our own visits in the US, or through contacts in the US. Archives
