The Mounties said their Niagara-on-the-Lake border integrity unit officers, with help from Ontario Provincial Police, arrested the individual last month under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
They say the person was taken to the Peace Bridge port of entry in Fort Erie for an assessment, deemed ineligible to enter Canada and was returned to the U.S. on the same day.
The RCMP said it maintains round-the-clock presence at the railway bridge where officers have arrested several people attempting to illegally enter Canada, but they were all eventually returned to the U.S.
The Mounties say the force is seeing “positive operational impact from new investments in law enforcement.”
The federal government announced in December a $1.3-billion plan to boost border security in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats.
