She crossed overland from Mexico for some reason, not from Canada. The linked article says: "Then they came back and told her that, because they were denying her, that they have to send her back to Canada."
Is there a policy that requires that people denied entry be returned to the country they are citizens of?
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoFrom what I read, the Canadian consulate can't do anything for her. They have her in their system, and she has no rights.
- leereeves 2y agoI read that she was scheduled to be released (sent back to Canada) today, but I can't find any more recent news either way.
