Before and after Trump took office, some illegal immigrants who feared expulsion targeted Canada. On 5 January, a man who had crossed the border in a stolen pickup truck was arrested in Suri and deported to the United States.
This may be a microcosm of the large numbers of deported immigrants that are about to be encountered at Canada ' s borders. The United States Customs and Border Protection Service confirmed on Thursday that the 33-year-old suspect had been handed over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Department in Tacoma. The United States authorities stated that the man was wanted for a wanted notice in Kim County, but did not state why he was wanted. United States officials also stated that the man had spoken through a Spanish interpreter and refused to answer questions without a lawyer. The police are investigating whether the man was motivated to seek asylum in Canada. Global News reported that on the same day, a second man had successfully entered Canada illegally in a stolen vehicle with a Washington licence plate. The Vancouver police indicated that they had tried to stop the van, which suddenly turned and ran through the parking sign. According to the police, because of the danger it poses to the public, the police do not conduct high-speed pursuits. The suspect remains at large. According to immigration officials, these cases may be linked to the threat by the incoming President of the United States, Donald Trump, to expel millions of undocumented migrants. Richard Kurland, an immigration lawyer, said that “as soon as Trump announces his 11 million-strong separation plan from the United States, be prepared, they will attack Canada”. |
