The twin spans of the Blue Water Bridge loom over the St. Clair River in Port Huron, Mich., looking to Sarnia, Ont., on March 18, 2020.Shortly after, the agency alleges the same jet ski made the crossing again and dropped a 47-year-old Brazilian man and 44-year-old woman on the U.S. side of the border, where they were arrested by border agents.
The agency says RCMP also made two additional arrests; the Mounties did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday evening. The border agency says the U.S. driver has been charged with a human smuggling offence and the four Brazilian citizens have been referred for prosecution on an illegal entry offence.
