Canadian officials have evaluated asylum claims from 19 Haitian migrants who were arrested in Quebec on Christmas day and have returned an undisclosed number of them to the United States after deeming them inadmissible, Canada’s border agency says.
RCMP officers arrested a group of people on Dec. 25 ranging in age from one to 60 after they were discovered hiding in the woods in the Havelock area of Montérégie, Que., located roughly five kilometres from the New York state border.
