Subhead:Alexa Lavoie was attacked again by the same individual involved in transporting people to Roxham Road to cross illegally into Canada, back in 2023. This time, she investigated his records to learn more about who he is and the suspicious activities he’s involved in.#

Plattsburgh, New York, where we exposed a man who has attacked us not once, but twice.
His name is Stephen Wagger. Back in February 2023, while covering the illegal crossings at Roxham Road, we encountered taxi drivers who were transporting migrants to the border.
That’s when Wagger violently assaulted us — right in front of RCMP officers who couldn’t intervene because we were standing on the American side. The assault was reported to New York State Troopers.

We were later told Wagger had appeared in court but were never notified. When we followed up with Champlain Town Court, they told us no record exists of the complaint.
Fast forward to recently: we were reporting at the Greyhound bus station on the surge of Haitian arrivals at Canada’s legal port of entry. Wagger appeared again.
This time, we confronted him — asking why he attacked us for simply doing our job. The moment we read his name tag; he snapped again.
