On July 1, CBP agents arrested a carload of illegals attempting to cross into the United States from Canada. The car contained five Iranian citizens and two citizens of Uzbekistan, all male. All had previously been caught illegally entering the US, and all will now again be deported.
Iran nationals and the Iranian-born have been subjected to greater scrutiny while attempting to enter the United States under the Trump administration than previously. In April, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported that Iranian-born persons living legally in Canada were sometimes being stopped, questioned, and turned around when trying to cross the border into the United States. The newspaper quoted a DHS spokesman saying:
The Trump administration is enforcing immigration laws – something the previous administration failed to do. Those who violate these laws will be processed, detained, and removed as required.
Another US official, an assistant commissioner at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said:
This reduction has allowed our law enforcement personnel to get back to doing law enforcement work, like conducting thorough vetting and interviews. Lawful travellers have nothing to fear from these measures, which are designed to protect our nation’s security. However, those intending to enter the U.S. with fraudulent purposes or malicious intent – don’t even try.
