Canadians traveling to Women's March denied US entry after sharing their plans
Would-be protesters heading to the Womens March on Washington have said they were denied entry to the United States after telling border agents at a land crossing in Quebec their plans to attend the march.
...
The group was upfront about their plans with border agents, Dyck said. We said we were going to the womens march on Saturday and they said, Well, youre going to have to pull over.
What followed was a two-hour ordeal. Their cars were searched and their mobile phones examined. Each member of the group was fingerprinted and had their photo taken.
Border agents first told the two French citizens that they had been denied entry to the US and informed them that any future visit to the US would now require a visa.
Then for the rest of us, they said, Youre headed home today, Dyck said. The group was also warned that if they tried to cross the border again during the weekend, they would be arrested. And that was it, they didnt give a lot of justification.
