Por qué la frontera norte de EE.UU. ahora tiene una inmigración récord

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:20:16 GMT

Champlain, Nueva York (CNN) — En una nevada tarde de marzo, un pequeño convoy de taxis y vehículos de alquiler se dirigía hacia el norte por una carretera rural de Nueva York que termina en la frontera con Canadá. Entre los pasajeros había una familia nigeriana de cinco miembros, un hombre ruso que viajaba solo y una sudamericana llamada Giovanna.“Tengo muchos sentimientos encontrados por este momento, porque tuve que dejar atrás a mi familia”, dijo en español a CNN una temblorosa Giovanna al salir de su taxi frente al paso fronterizo no oficial de “Roxham Road”, tristemente famoso por un capricho de la diplomacia y la planificación urbana que permite a alguien conducir hasta la frontera y entrar ilegalmente en Canadá, en lugar de ser rechazado.La madre colombiana se encuentra entre el flujo aparentemente interminable de migrantes que desde 2017 se han visto atraídos por este gélido tramo más septentrional de Estados Unidos, con la intención de cruzar l...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:20:16 GMT

The Beverly Fire Department sent support to Ukraine this week, donating one of its firetrucks to help first responders within Ukraine as the war in their country rages on. Massachusetts Fire Engine Six began its journey on Monday. Beyond Beverly, several other Massachusetts fire departments are also donating equipment. Beverly’s fire chief said its truck was used within Massachusetts for about 20 years. Now, he said he hopes it will help people in Ukraine. “For me, it was a real fitting way for it to go out,” Chief Peter O’Connor said. O’Connor said trucks often get sold at auction. “[T]hey might sit in a parking lot and just rust away,” O’Connor said. O’Connor said this alternate option marked a chance to see Beverly’s truck continue to help beyond its serviceable life in town. The fire truck is being shipped to Ukraine by a non-profit group.

Expected winter weather on Tuesday will cause disruptions for various MBTA transit options, with ferry service suspended and shuttle buses running in place of trolleys on the Mattapan Line. The MBTA announced winter weather disruptions on Monday.
