A group of refugees, including children, were apprehended by Canadian authorities this week while attempting to cross the U.S.-Canada border in extreme winter conditions, with temperatures plunging as low as -30C (-22F), the crossing could have been a death sentence.
"There's the cross-border piece, but also the humanity piece," said Assistant Commissioner Lisa Moreland during a press conference in Edmonton. "(There have been) incidents where people did not make it."
