US and Canada agree to reject and return asylum seekers.
TL;DR Summary
The US and Canada have reached a deal to reject asylum seekers at unofficial border crossings, which is expected to allow officials on both sides of the border to turn back such asylum seekers heading in either direction. The move is part of efforts to limit an influx of migrants at Roxham Road, an unofficial crossing between New York state and the province of Quebec. As a part of the deal, Canada will create a new refugee programme for 15,000 migrants fleeing persecution and violence in South and Central America.
