Personally, I met someone just this morning from the LGBTQ+ community who came from Sierra Leone. As probably a number of migrants do, this person went south to Ecuador, because it was the only place they were able to go, and then came back up to Canada.
When the person arrived in the United States, they were detained for months. In order for them to be released, a community organization in Florida, the LGBTQ Freedom Fund, had to provide $5,000 to pay for their bond. Once the person was released, they were fitted with an electronic ankle bracelet. When their chains had been removed, the person came to Canada via Roxham Road, and the refugee claim process then started.
