Terrified Haitians in U.S. make dangerous journey to Canada

On Jan. 20, 2026, Frantz André, head of the Montreal-based Action Committee for People Without Status, said his phone rings daily with frightened Haitian migrants in the United States as TPS ends next month.
A Haitian mother in Georgia says she has no legal status after entering via a humanitarian parole program under the Biden administration and never received a TPS application response, fearing ICE raids.
Since Christmas Day at least 27 migrants were arrested in Quebec after crossing on foot, with several hospitalized for hypothermia and frostbite.
CBSA says some migrants were deported into U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody after 2023 policy changes closed a loophole.
Under the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, exceptions include close family in Canada, unaccompanied minors, and 14-day undetected presence, while Zachary Abraham Kohn said a legal challenge could extend TPS and Roxham Road closures push crossings into forest routes.
