Original: Canadian citizen and U.S. permanent resident detained at border crossing, questioned about voting for hours | CBC News

Paige Adamson, a Canadian citizen and U.S. permanent resident, was returning home from a birthday dinner in Tsawwassen, B.C., on September 15 when she was stopped at the Point Roberts border crossing. She was detained for hours and questioned about voting. Lawyers say the case highlights vulnerabilities faced by Canadians who hold permanent resident status in the United States when crossing the border.

Why now: The detention raises concerns among cross-border residents and lawyers about being questioned over voting rights at U.S. entry points.
