The four Indian nationals whose bodies were among eight pulled from the St. Lawrence River last week had been travelling in Canada on a tourist visa, a police official from their home state said Monday.– died trying to cross illegally into the United States from Canada through Akwesasne Mohawk Territory, which straddles provincial and international boundaries and includes regions of Quebec, Ontario and New York state.
“They were in Canada for the last two months. And they had gone from here on a Canada visa,” he said in an interview from Gujarat.Details about eight migrants found dead in St. Lawrence River emerge as search for alleged human smuggler continues Oakes was last seen Wednesday night operating the boat in the Mohawk territory, but police have made no direct connections between Oakes and the deaths.
“We included them too, learning about the tragedy,” Father Emanuel Țencaliuc said in an interview Monday. Țencaliuc said the couple’s two children were baptized at the church in June 2022. The families died less than a week after Canada and the United States amended an immigration deal that prevents people in either country from crossing the border and making a refugee claim. The amendment changed the deal so that it covers unofficial points of entry along the 9,000-kilometre border between the countries.
