Trump's border crackdown could threaten Canada-U.S. refugee deal, experts say

Canada's Supreme Court upheld a 2023 deal that says refugee claimants must seek protection in the U.S. first, because American rules were deemed fair. Trump's 2025 orders have removed those protections — shutting the border, freezing refugee claims, and planning to cancel 200,000 asylum visas. Lawyer Maureen Silcoff says Canada should consider suspending the deal.
