immigration union: She got hurt, according to CBC. I haven't seen the bruises but it's serious enough. One of them assaulted a female Canadian Border Services Agency officer as he was being sent to lock-up at the Emerson, Man., port-of-entry last weekend, said Jean-Pierre Fortin, National President of the Customs and Immigration Union. But her life was not in danger, Fortin said, adding she has returned to work and does not want to be interviewed about her experience. He was apprehended by RCMP officers before being searched, identified and screened. The RCMP confirms a 37-year-old man had illegally crossed the border at about 1 a.m. on Apr. 8.
