Canadians traveling to Women's March denied US entry after sharing plans

Would-be protesters heading to the Women’s March on Washington have said they were denied entry to the United States after telling border agents at a land crossing in Quebec their plans to attend the march.

Montrealer Sasha Dyck was part of a group of eight who had arranged online to travel together to Washington. Divided into two cars, the group – six Canadians and two French nationals – arrived at the border crossing that connects St Bernard de Lacolle in Quebec with Champlain, New York, on Thursday.
The group was upfront about their plans with border agents, Dyck said. “We said we were going to the women’s march on Saturday and they said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to pull over’.”

What followed was a two-hour ordeal. Their cars were searched and their mobile phones examined. Each member of the group was fingerprinted and had their photo taken.

I think this is all protocol. Remember that the world is very sensitive to the terrorist attacks. When big masses congregate, there needs to be a second thought in regards to security.

don't see anything wrong with it. What's next? Outrage over Mexicans being denied entry when they plan to attend immigration protests?

From my understanding agents have the right to deny entry to anyone at the border, including citizens.

They can detain citizens but not deny entry.

Every country I've been to disallowed participation in political protests as part of their visa program. It's no different here in the States than anywhere else.
