Tragedy at US-Canada border: 8 bodies recovered near Akwesasne.

Canadian authorities have recovered the bodies of eight people, including two children, in a marshy area near the U.S. border, police said. Authorities think the individuals belonged to two families of Romanian and Indian descent and were trying to cross into the United States illegally. The bodies were found Wednesday and Thursday near the St. Lawrence River in the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne in southern Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the situation “heartbreaking,” vowing to do “whatever we can to minimize the chances of this ever happening again.”
