Border cross mistreatment repeats for Saranac Lake woman
Sylvie Nelson, a 44 year old Saranac Lake resident and chamber of commerce head, endures repeated border alarms and handcuffings at the Canadian border due to a mistaken identity with a man of the same birth date. Federal officials acknowledge the issue but offer few details, and no clear fix has been reported after two years. Nelson crosses monthly using both passports, seeks information, and contends she is not on any terror watch list. The case draws attention to broader border screening challenges between the U S and Canada.
