New York Times, U.S. and Canada Reach an Agreement on Turning Away Asylum Seekers, Michael D. Shear and Ian Austen, March 24, 2023 (print ed.). The deal allows both countries to turn away people who cross their borders without authorization at a time when migration has surged.The deal, which is set to be announced Friday by President Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, left, after the two leaders meet in Ottawa, 
will allow Canada to turn back immigrants at Roxham Road, a popular unofficial crossing point from New York for migrants seeking asylum in Canada.In exchange, Canada has agreed to provide a new, legal refugee program for 15,000 migrants who are fleeing violence, persecution and economic devastation in South and Central America, the official said, lessening the pressure of illegal crossings into the United States from Mexico.
Mr. Biden was due to arrive in Ottawa on Thursday evening for a 24-hour visit meant to underscore the unity of purpose between the United States and Canada after four years of frosty and even openly hostile exchanges between Mr. Trudeau and former President Donald J. Trump.

New York Times, Court Action Underscores Peril for Trump in Documents Investigation, Maggie Haberman, Alan Feuer, Ben Protess and William K. Rashbaum, March 24, 2023 (print ed.). Prosecutors are building a case that former President Trump obstructed efforts to reclaim classified files and that he may have misled his lawyer.The behind-the-scenes legal fight over obtaining evidence from a lawyer who represented former President Donald J. Trump in the investigation into his handling of classified documents has brought into sharper view where the Justice Department might be headed with the case.
According to the wisps of information that have seeped out of sealed court filings and closed-door hearings, prosecutors believe they have compelling evidence that Mr. Trump obstructed the government’s efforts to reclaim the sensitive records and may have even misled his own lawyers.
This theory of the case has not changed much since federal agents obtained a search warrant in August based on three possible crimes, obstruction being one of them. The search turned up hundreds of sensitive government records being kept at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s heavily trafficked compound in Florida, after his lawyers had earlier assured the Justice Department that all such documents had been returned.
Still, the more recent developments stemming from efforts to force testimony and other evidence from the lawyer, M. Evan Corcoran, in Federal District Court in Washington, indicate that prosecutors have continued to build a case and that the inquiry remains a serious threat to Mr. Trump.
