Deputy Prime Minister Freeland says Canadian officials are urgently following up with American counterparts following reports the U.S. may deport asylum seekers who are turned away by Canada and may be at risk in their native countries, contrary to international agreements.
Canada closed the border to illegal asylum seekers last week in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Freeland won't say whether Canada will reopen the border to illegal agreements, saying she did not want to negotiate with U.S. officials in public.
