🆕 Research Brief | One year after EO 14159, the U.S. has ended asylum processing, expanded deportations, and rolled back humanitarian protections. Prof. Efrat Arbel’s research shows this undermines the U.S.’s designation as a “safe” country under Canada’s #STCA.

US halts all asylum decisions after national guard shooting Trump administration says decisions paused until government can ensure ‘every alien is vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible’

How often we've said, as Trump eviscerated refugee rights, surely the 'Safe' 3rd Country Agreement will be scrapped. And yet...

Now, surely, with all asylum claims in the US on hold, that time has come. Scrap the #STCA @mark-carney.bsky.social, Lena Diab & Gary Anandasangaree.

The U.S. is no longer a safe harbour for domestic violence refugees, but crossing into Canada is often impossible A Colombian survivor is one of many paying the price for a flawed system

It is utter lunacy & beyond unconscionable that we continue to pretend all is fine for refugees in the US.

Now that a Canadian has died in U.S. immigration custody, Canada can no longer justify U.S. exceptionalism At a time when Canada should be distinguishing itself from the U.S. and reaffirming our values, which include human rights, dignity and equality for all, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s administration

"... in what reality is the U.S. safe for asylum-seekers and refugees who are among the world’s most vulnerable populations and many of whom identify as LGBTIQ+?"

On this World Refugee Day, Call on the Canadian Government to Withdraw from the STCA | Canadian Council for Refugees June 20, 2025

Happy Canada Day, northern neighbors!
I sincerely hope we can mend fences soon!
Until then I urge you to withdraw from the Safe Third Countries Agreement (STCA) which sends refugees back to the US, because, well … it’s not safe!

Groups mount legal challenge against Ottawa over refugee treaty with U.S. The Safe Third Country Agreement is premised on both countries being safe for refugees, but groups say Canada’s oversight of the deal is ‘fundamentally flawed’

Such an important legal challenge. The obvious course of action would be to scrap the #STCA. At a minimum we need transparency as to how the federal government can possibly consider DT's USA to be a safe country for refugees.

Is the US a Safe Third Country for asylum seekers anymore?

Cuban national arrested after attempting run across Ontario bridge: RCMP | Globalnews.ca A Cuban national was arrested in mid-March after attempting to enter Canada illegally by running across the Fort Erie International Railway Bridge from the United States.

The implication that this person was a criminal offends me. Because Canada maintains that the US is safe for #asylum seekers (ha!) he has no ability to make a claim here, thus the immediate return. Guess how desperate he was to attempt a crossing on a RR bridge? #STCA globalnews.ca/news/1111403...

“President Trump’s extreme anti-immigrant and anti-asylum orders are designed to instill fear and make the U.S dangerously more unsafe for those seeking protection,” said Ketty Nivyabandi, Secretary General of Amnesty International Canada’s English-speaking section.
