BRIDGES NOT BORDERS - CREONS DES PONTS

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.

Sur ce blogue, nous avons affiché des informations sur nos visites à la frontière, Roxham Road, États Unis. Depuis la fermeture de Roxham Road le vendredi 24 mars 2023, nous essayons de tenir un répertoire des informations que nous avons cueillies sur les réfugiés qui ont été renvoyés aux États-Unis.

Border visit 25 September 2022

It was a short but busy visit. Within 20 minutes five taxis arrived.

A young man jumped out of the first taxi, kept his head down and crossed. He did not stop despite being asked several times by the RCMP. He was ’strongly guided’  by two officers and taken into the building.

The four other taxis brought 3 young men, a group of 5 (2 men, 2 women and one girl about aged 5), a family  with 3 children aged approximately 4-12, and a group of 3 (2 young men and a woman).
I was only able to speak briefly with the last group. They were not family but had been traveling together and spoke Arabic.
 
I spoke with each taxi driver about the need to tell people to stop when the police tell them to.
 
The RCMP followed their protocol.
 
The only other observation was that one of the men in the third taxi apparently paid the driver $20 saying he had no more money. He had been told the cost before boarding at the bus station. The taxi drivers said this happens occasionally. They were not clearly not pleased but did not stay to argue with the man.

    The 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.
    ​Les rapports de nos visites à la frontière et de l'information qu'on a pu collecter sur la situation aux États-Unis sont rédigés par les bénévoles qui étaient à la frontière ou aux É-U. Nous sommes désolés de ne pas avoir les ressources pour traduire ces rapports en français.
