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.

De plus, nous postons maintenant des blogs sur nos expériences personelles à la frontière. |
Sunday, August 19th, 2018. Afternoon. Roxham Road, United States.
We arrived at the border at 2.25pm. Crickets singing, ragweed in bloom. Very quiet until 3.45 pm when a taxi arrived with a family of four from Nigeria. A man, woman and two teenage daughters. We offered them water but they already had their own bottles. At the same time a woman who introduced herself as a social documentarian who has traveled to many countries photographing non-violent protests. She took a photo of the family as they crossed (without incident). Soon after a single man of African descent came in a taxi and crossed quickly. At 4pm another taxi with a single man from Haiti. He also crossed without incident. RCMP officers respected their protocol.

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
