The incoming Trump administration plans to send families to internment camps, deport 12 million undocumented people, and to end temporary protected status (TPS), a designation for migrants who cannot safely return home. Some of these people will have well-founded refugee claims and will look to Canada.
As refugee lawyers, we heard countless stories from clients during the first Trump administration who initially arrived in the U.S. but did not remain there. Trump’s anti-migrant rhetoric and policies propelled them to cross into Canada, many at Roxham Road.
Must be worried they’re going to lose business if Canada cooperates with Trumps sensible plans.
