With the Trump administration vowing to enforce a stringent deportation program, many fear the impact on asylum seekers in the U.S. Historical patterns indicate that asylum seekers may attempt to cross into Canada to escape potential persecution. Similar patterns occurred in 2017 when a significant number moved north due to existing loopholes in the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA). However, recent modifications in 2023 have narrowed the circumstances under which asylum can be claimed in Canada, making it significantly more challenging for those fleeing oppressive conditions.
The Trump administration promises to double down on what it says will be the fiercest deportation program in U.S. history, a stance that raises concerns about the treatment of vulnerable asylum seekers.
The 2023 expansion of the Safe Third Country Agreement complicates the asylum process for those looking to escape potential hardships in the U.S., limiting their options significantly.
