Canadian court rules bilateral pact with US that compels asylum seekers trying to enter Canada via American border to first seek sanctuary in US invalid

However, a federal court judge on Wednesday ruled the pact violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. To skirt the rule and guarantee their asylum application will be considered in Canada, tens of thousands of migrants have passed into the country through unofficial border crossings such as at Roxham Road, an area on the border between New York and Quebec.
