Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has vowed to take action against the human traffickers after four Indians, including an infant, were found to be dead while trying to illegally cross the US-Canada border in a freezing cold temperature.

He said that Canada is working very closely with the United States to stop smuggling and help people “taking unacceptable risks”.
“It was an absolutely mind-blowing story. It’s so tragic to see a family die like that, victims of human traffickers…and of people who took advantage of their desire to build a better life,” Trudeau said.
“This is why we are doing all we can to discourage people from crossing the border in an irregular or illicit manner. We know there are great risks in doing so,” he added.
The bodies of four people — two adults, a teen and an infant — were found on the Canadian side of the US/Canada border near Emerson on Wednesday.
