Some Haitian migrants arrested after crossing into Quebec returned to U.S., CBSA says

Canadian authorities have processed asylum claims for 19 Haitian migrants arrested on Christmas and returned an unspecified number of them to the United States after determining they are inadmissible, the Canada Border Services Agency said.

A group of people between the ages of 1 and 60 were found last week in the woods near Montérégie in southern Quebec, approximately five kilometres from the border with the state of New York.
