Shop NowOn Wednesday, police discovered the bodies of four family members “frozen to death near the Canada-US border near Emerson, Winnipeg.” America’s northern border is just as porous as the southern one but doesn’t get nearly as much attention.
Found frozen near border
According to reports, “two adults, a teen, and a baby” were found frozen solid “about 10 meters north of the Canadian border near Emerson.” A four-hour search for the missing migrants ended with their discovery, around 1:30 in the afternoon.
A joint U.S. and Canadian search team found them roughly 32 feet away from entering America, after U.S. customs agents caught others in their party. If Joe Biden actually enforced border laws, instead of enticing illegal migration, then all the incentives drawing migrants like a magnet wouldn’t exist.
Autopsies were scheduled even though the “family appeared to have frozen to death.” Manitoba’s office of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police report that the day before, they had arrested a “group of individuals who had crossed into the US from Canada, near the town of Emerson.”
They had baby things with them, but no baby. That made US agents anxious to locate the infant.

“Yesterday, #rcmpmb officers with the Integrated Border Enforcement Team received concerning info from their counterparts in the US,” they tweeted. “The US Customs & Border Protection officers had apprehended a group of individuals who had crossed into the US from Canada, just south of Emerson.”
They added that the U.S. report “indicated that one of the adults had items meant for an infant but that no infant was with the group.” One of the migrants told agents “he was carrying a backpack for a family of four migrants that had become separated. The backpack had children’s clothes, diapers and toys.” The migrants fears they would be found frozen were proven sadly correct.
Search launched immediately
As soon as they got the alert, the RCMP sprang into action. “Upon receiving this information at 9:23 am, a search was immediately launched on both sides of the border.” They note in a separate statement that “RCMP officers were already patrolling the area and the search began at 9:24 am. Extensive patrols were conducted.”
Then, at approximately 1:30 pm, the frozen bodies of “three individuals were located on the Canadian side of the border, approximately 10km east of Emerson.” The fourth body “which they said appeared to be someone in his mid-teens” was found nearby.
Additional reports note that the family of frozen migrants were originally from India and that they were “separated from the larger group of migrants they were with.”
All eleven of the group traveling together were from India and “trying to cross in sub-zero temperatures near Humboldt, Minnesota.” Agents who patrol the border there “say the location has become a regular smuggling route.”
Out of the ones who made the crossing alive, several were nearly frozen. two had to be rushed to the hospital with severe frostbite. One of them, a female, “stopped breathing several times while en route to the hospital, was revived, but will likely have a hand partially amputated because of frostbite.”
Even liberal leaning Washington Times admits that these “deaths are the latest in a growing body count as illegal border crossings surge under the Biden administration.” They caught the victim’s suspected coyote. Steve Shand, “an immigrant from Jamaica,” They nabbed the smuggling driver on the U.S. side when they “found him with two of the Indian migrants in his rented 15-passenger van, and they found five other Indian migrants just down the road, headed in his direction.“
