40 people caught illegally crossing ND border into Canada in last week

Pembina between Tuesday and Friday this past week, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a Saturday statement. The announcement comes amid a recent uptick in refugees crossing the U.S.-Canada border.

Information on the 40 people "intercepted" by Canadian authorities was not included in the release, and the statement said "no further details on age or countries of origin will be provided." Canadian officials did not immediately respond to messages requesting additional information.
