Mississippi Gov Tate Reeves sends National Guard to US-Mexico border: ‘Every state has become a border state’

While the court did agree that some migrants in the US face risks of detention and refoulment upon their expulsion from Canada, it also cited Canada's ability to retain asylum-seekers if they could prove potential harsh treatment in the US. This decision abides by both the STCA and the Constitution, as it upholds the mutually agreed upon treaty and considers the possibility of exceptional asylum cases.
Not only does the STCA force vulnerable refugees back into the US, where they will be treated inhumanely, but it gives them no choice but to make dangerous treks across the border to avoid detainment and expulsion. Every refugee has the right to claim asylum in Canada no matter how they arrived, meaning this ruling blatantly violates international law and basic human dignity.
Both conservative and liberal Canadians believe the STCA is flawed but for drastically different reasons. While the right wants to avoid the caravans of migrants the US faces at its southern border, the left thinks everybody should be welcome for any reason. The STCA has been a mess since its implementation, the extent of which is proven by the left and right actually agreeing.
