More Illegal Migrants Are Fleeing Into Canada Over the Northern Border Than Are Coming Into US After Trump’s Crackdown

More migrants are fleeing into Canada across the border than are coming south into the US after President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, sources told The Post.

Homeland Security sources said that there are “lots of northbounders” now running scared and “self-deporting” from the US with Trump back in office.

In a remote stretch of Washington state, border agents report seeing an average of five migrants crossing illegally north into Canada each day.

The numbers were starting to pick up even before the Trump administration began in full force.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police reported 40 illegal crossings from Washington into British Columbia in January, according to official data.

That same month, Border Patrol agents on the US side saw 30 migrants crossing south.

Many of the migrants making a run for Canada have some form of temporary status in the US after previously crossing into the US from Mexico, but fear their pending cases in the immigration courts won’t end in their favor, sources said.

The fleeing migrants are hoping to reach Canada before federal immigration agents are able to scoop them up as part of Trump’s mass deportation effort.

It’s a massive turnabout from the northern border under the Biden administration, when federal agents on the US side were seeing record numbers of migrants surging illegally into the US.

Roughly 23,700 illegal migrants were apprehended coming from Canada last fiscal year, compared to just 2,200 in 2022, according to federal data.
