Mohamed told the reporter he was fleeing because “America is [the] problem now.”
Purdon was on assignment at the time for a possible story about asylum seekers from the United States to Canada.
He was driving along a road where CBC reported several Somali refugees have made the dangerous trek to Manitoba to flee the US since Donald Trump took office.
Visibly fatigued and huddled over, Mohamed told Purdon he did not know where he was.
“You're in Canada,” Purdon responded.
In the CBC footage, Purdon told the RCMP police Mohamed is concerned he's in the hands of American police.
The RCMP officer assures Mohamed that he's with the Canadian force and that he will take him “over to the Canadian port” so his refugee claim can be heard.
After getting another confirmation from Purdon that the officer is Canadian, Mohamed finally decides to get into the officer's car.
Purdon told BuzzFeed News Mohamed was then taken to Canadian border services.
