Canadian authorities say they’ve intercepted a human smuggling attempt in Ontario’s Niagara region as part of a larger border security effort.
The Canada Border Services Agency and the RCMP say they caught one person jumping off a moving freight train as it entered Canada in Fort Erie, Ont.
They say the intercept was part of Project Disrupt and Deter, launched in December and aimed at monitoring “vulnerable” areas along the International Railway Bridge that connects Fort Erie and Buffalo, N.Y.
