A British family currently held in U.S. immigration custody was arrested for making what U.S. agents believe was a deliberate attempt to enter the United States illegally from Canada, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said Tuesday.
The arrest and detention of the Connors family has received extensive coverage in the United States and Britain after their attorney described them as tourists who accidentally drove across the border and ended up jailed with their small children in what they called squalid conditions. The family’s attorney, Bridget Cambria, said her clients were driving near the U.S. border south of Vancouver on Oct. 2 when they swerved to avoid an animal and veered into the United States inadvertently. The family members said they were stopped by a U.S. agent, were denied a request to return to Canada and instead were sent to a family detention center in Pennsylvania, where they are being held pending deportation.
Well, I've been up there, and what they did was no "accident" - the parallel roads along each side of the border have numerous signs declaring the existence of the international boundary. Moreover, in many places there are fences, while in other areas there are ditches. Oh, and lots of CCTV cameras as well....
CBP officials disputed the family’s version of events and said the Connors were spotted via video surveillance “slowly and deliberately driving through a ditch onto Boundary Road in Lynden, Washington,” between parallel roadways on the U.S. and Canadian sides. The roads are not connected by cross streets, and the only legal way to traverse between the countries is through staffed border stations throughout the region. The CBP statement said U.S. agents also determined that two of the family members had applied for travel authorization to visit the United States and were denied.
“Attempts were made to return the individuals to Canada, however, Canada refused to allow their return and two attempts to contact the United Kingdom consulate were unsuccessful,” the CBP statement read.
BUT the tale grows deeper:
The Irish travellers were accused of scamming and stealing their way around Brisbane allegedly used their children to steal designer shoes, police revealed. Most of them are believed to have fled Australia at the weekend after their images were released, while four remaining suspects are being closely monitored by Queensland police and border force officers. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was asked about the Irish scammers on Wednesday, insisting people who commit crimes in Australia should be hauled before the courts.
Looks to me as though our border patrol folks did a good job, here.
As to why Canada declined to have them back: they likely talked with Aussie authorities - the "family" has been banned from returning to Australia.
