My colleague Maureen Silcoff and I are doing everything we can to ensure this man and his family can ultimately come to Canada to join their family
An Afghan man who worked for the U.S. military could likely settle in Canada, where family members have legal status.
Despite having passed a credible fear interview, he’s stuck in ICE detention, in conditions his lawyers call “deplorable,” at risk of being sent back to the Taliban

Eligible for asylum in Canada, stuck in ICE detention
Three members of an Afghan family, including a man who worked for the U.S. military, could be eligible for asylum in Canada. ICE won’t release them.

This piece explains well the existing state of affairs in Canada asylum policy and why it is pretty impossible to get asylum if one is fleeing the US.
The assumptions guiding the treaty are now dead, dead, dead. The US is now a dangerous place for many people. Carney needs to recognize that.

Canada is sending refugees back to the US -- a regime that violates their rights and deports women and children.
We have obligations to those people. It's time we honoured them.
Mr. Carney, tear down that wall.

We are deporting innocent men without any due process to a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer, autism awareness, and loving their mothers.
NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.
Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

In his campaign launch speech Poilievre blames violence and disorder on "open borders." Canada has never had open borders but even if you think it has brought in too many migrants (temporary and permanent) migrants are not linked to violence or crime.

Everything anyone purports to be angry at Justin Trudeau about: affordability, the housing crisis, hospital and surgical wait times, etc. etc. etc. are MORE attributable to Doug Ford after 6+years of his time as Premier than they ever were to Trudeau.

Excellent piece by @shaunalabman.bsky.social and @meggaucher.bsky.social about how we talk about our border and perceived "loopholes

Why the ‘language of loopholes’ should be avoided if Trump cracks down on the Canada-U.S. border
Focus on supposed ‘loopholes’ that allow migrants to claim asylum echoes Canada’s longstanding preoccupation with how people negotiate the border.

My first post on Bluesky (are we really using skeet?): My op-ed in today’s Star on the impact of Trump’s election on Canada’s border and refugee system. It’s inevitable that desperate people will come to our border. We need to welcome them in line with our international obligations.
Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown: Here’s what it means for Canada
The problems are not just with our system. We also need to be wary of Trump's xenophobia, too.
