winter jacket: Near-fatal border crossing in Quebec prompts calls for immigration reform Refugee claims soar at Quebec-U.S. border, new figures show Mamadou huddled under a winter jacket at the immigration detention facility in Laval, just north of Montreal, shivering as he told his story, according to CBC. Tears streamed from his bloodshot eyes. It has been a recurring dream ever since he was found, barely conscious, by police in the snowy woods near the Lacolle, Que.-U.S. border crossing in the early hours of March 5. His feet, swollen and discoloured, are covered in blisters. I went through hell, I'm telling you, walking, he told CBC News during an interview in a small, sparsely furnished visitor room at the detention centre. His hands are too sore to hold a pen.
