Sunday July 7th and Sunday July 14th, 2019. Roxham Road, USA.
On July 7th we were unable to cross over in time into the USA because of long queues at the border due to the July 4th "long weekend". On July 14th we arrived at Roxham Road earlier (2:30 pm) because the Greyhound bus schedule had changed. When we arrived we greeted the RCMP officers who were outside the building enjoying the nice breeze. We talked to one of them to ask what they day had been like, and he said unusually quiet. During the time we were there, there were no arrivals by taxi from the bus station, train station or airport and neither by private car. We stayed until just past 4 pm. Reflecting on our experience and what the RCMP officer had said earlier, we thought it likely that people who are undocumented in the US were hiding out after Trump’s announcement that he was starting nationwide raids by ICE on this very day.
