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 8th 2019. Afternoon at Roxham Road, US.
A cold day. We arrived at 3.30pm. Seven people crossed into Canada while we were there. The first taxi came at about 4pm bringing a woman holding a baby wrapped in a blanket. She was nervous and did not want to talk and crossed the border without a problem. Minutes later a second taxi arrived with two men who stated that they had come from Venezuela. One of them very gratefully accepted mittens and a scarf. 5 minutes later a taxi arrived with a woman on her own. She had three suitcases and was in distress. She was crying and was not able to talk, but accepted a pair of gloves. The RCMP officer permitted the taxi driver to help with the suitcases. Finally about twenty minutes before 5pm the last taxi arrived arrived with a couple fro Venezuela who crossed without a problem. Most of the arrivals were well prepared for the cold but some of them accepted warm things.

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
