The RCMP is committed to using  all available technology and  resources to secure the  Canada-United States border. This includes  aircraft with advanced thermal imaging capabilities to detect illegal activity near the  border. The RCMP will also continue to work closely with  its law enforcement partners in the United States to ensure  that information is shared  quickly to  provide a coordinated response to any border  incursions.
At  7:30 PM on January  14, 2025, a group of six individuals  were seen approaching the Manitoba border, approximately 15 km east of Emerson. An RCMP  aircraft equipped with  a thermal imaging  system was actively patrolling the border and quickly located the six individuals and directed ground units to the location. RCMP officers in vehicles responded immediately and began searching for the group who had fled into a wooded area. With RCMP  aircraft directing officers on the ground,  the six  individuals were arrested without incident (1 Jordanian, 3 Sudanese, 1 Chadian and 1 Mauritanian) and transferred to the  Canada Border Services Agency.
"We want to be clear. We have the  partners, technology and resources in place to  intervene at the border and stop illegal activity," said Assistant Commissioner Lisa Moreland, Regional Commander, Northwest Region, Federal  Police, RCMP. "By working closely with  the Canada Border Services Agency  and our provincial and  U.S. law enforcement partners, we can detect and  stop those  attempting to cross our shared  border."
