The RCMP say officers are searching a residence in the Montr\u00e9al-Nord borough in an investigation into a suspected human smuggling ring.<\/p>\n

They say one alleged smuggler and one migrant have been arrested, but police did not say what charges they could be facing.<\/p>\n

Police say the residence housed migrants after they were smuggled into Canada from the U.S., or before they crossed south of the border.<\/p>\n

They say the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n

Quebec RCMP reported last month that one of their officers was injured by an alleged smuggler who was intercepted in a vehicle near the U.S. border with five migrants aboard.<\/p>\n

And four people were arrested and charged in August 2025 after RCMP and Quebec provincial police intercepted a cube truck carrying 44 foreign nationals near the U.S. border in Quebec. <\/p>\n
