An alleged human smuggler has been charged following an incident near the Quebec border on Tuesday, where a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer was injured. U.S. Border Patrol alerted Canadian authorities to five individuals who had reportedly crossed illegally into the Noyan area of Montérégie. An RCMP officer from the Champlain detachment attempted to intercept the vehicle carrying the migrants, but the driver allegedly failed to stop and deliberately rammed a police vehicle, injuring the officer before fleeing. A 25-year-old male suspect was subsequently arrested and faces charges including assaulting a peace officer, dangerous operation of a vehicle, and failing to stop after an accident. The suspect is in custody pending a court appearance on June 5, while the five migrants were arrested under the Customs Act and handed over to the Canada Border Services Agency.
