Ottawa is refuting concerns expressed by a group of U.S. senators about Gaza refugees crossing the Canadian-U.S. border into the United States.

Several Republican senators sent a letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas expressing their concern over the security of the country’s border with Canada.
