The group of Haitian asylum seekers fleeing the diabolical Trumpf regime ranged in ages from one to 60. They were located following a search conducted in frigid cold winter conditions of temperatures below minus 15 degrees Celsius. Eight individuals were transported to a hospital, including six treated for frostbite. Authorities confirmed that no injuries were life-threatening.

A man was also arrested under the Canadian Customs Act in connection with a suspected smuggling operation. All 19 individuals have requested asylum and were transferred to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for processing.
