All the people caught were journeying north and none had fentanyl, according to Assistant Commissioner Lisa Moreland
The RCMP has announced it stopped 16 people illegally crossing the American border into the Canadian Prairies over the past three weeks, none of whom appear to be involved in the fentanyl trade.in Alberta and the Canadian Border Services Agency held a press conference Wednesday afternoon detailing three separate incidents, two at or near that province’s Coutts border crossing and one in Manitoba , including a police chase Tuesday that ended in an apparent suicide.
Data published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection show 23,721 people were apprehended last fiscal year crossing its northern border illegally. That is considerably more than the roughly 2,238 caught two years prior, but still dwarfed by the more than 1.5 million such arrests made by CBP agents on the border with Mexico last fiscal year.
The group, which included people from Jordan, Sudan, Chad and Mauritius, has been transferred to CBSA custody.
