Lawrence River: Ont ., and Gang Members

lawrence river: Carrying only a backpack stuffed with a change of clothes, underwear, cologne and thousands of dollars in cash, the 32-year-old Brazilian refugee last month bet his future on a masked smuggler and strangers with unknown names, according to CBC. CBC News has agreed not to disclose his identity because the refugee is a witness in an ongoing smuggling investigation spearheaded by the Canada Border Services Agency CBSA . John says he fled the United States after gang members from his hometown of Sobralia found him in a suburb outside Boston, where he had been working as a painter. Lawrence River to Cornwall, Ont., was the last leg in a seven-hour journey John hoped would lead to a new life of safety in Canada. He was an undocumented immigrant who fled extortion and gang violence in southeastern Brazil 11 years earlier. I can't go back to Brazil. I hear Trump is going to deport. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
