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 3rd, 2017. Roxham Road, Champlain NYS. 3.45 - 4.45pm. It was a milder day. About 21-22 people crossed into Canada. Everyone appreared to be of sub-Saharan African origin. They came in four different arrivals. First was a single man from Nigeria who arrive in a taxi. Next was the shuttle from Plattsburgh Airport that brought two families: one family of four (parents and two children under 10) and another family of five (parents, an adolescent and two younger children). A taxi then brought three adults (one women, two men) and an adolescent. Finally two taxis arrived carrying three women, two adolescents and a small child. We did not hear the RCMP try to re-direct any of these refugees to the Lacolle border.

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
