Jamie Sarkonak: It shouldn't take 16 years to deport a foreign criminal
Article content He also feared that India wouldn't issue him a passport to allow him to see his children. Finally, he made the thin suggestion that he might face harassment in India for claiming asylum abroad — there was no 'assurance' that he would not be persecuted there, he claimed. Article content Try as he did, none of his concerns met the legal test to halt his imminent deportation, and Judge Phuong Ngo — who came to Canada as a legitimate refugee when she was a child — ordered him deported. Whether he's actually in India, we don't know. The CBSA won't comment on individual cases. Article content It's possible that he's still here: aside from uncooperative foreign countries and individuals, the CBSA told the Post that other 'impediments to removal' exist, such as 'the inability to use commercial airlines due to their lack of flights to certain destinations, their limits on the number of deportees per flight or refusal to transport foreign nationals with criminality.' Article content Uncooperative foreign governments are a recurring problem. Right now, probably still locked up in a CBSA detention facility is Somali national Lahi Abdi, who came to Canada in 2003 and has committed many serious crimes here since, including assault with a weapon, robbery, gun offences, drug offences and, of course, court-order breaches. Deportation proceedings finally commenced in 2017, and he was ordered deported in 2020. He wasn't removed from the country, however, and went on to commit more gun crimes in 2021. He was finally jailed by the CBSA in 2022. Article content Article content Abdi tried to have the Federal Court release him in 2024, but was denied. The decision rejecting his bid notes that CBSA officials have tried since 2023 to have Somali officials provide the appropriate travel documents, to no avail. Thus, his care was left to Canadian taxpayers. Article content Ankit Kundu, a work- and study-permit holder from India, got here in 2016 and, by 2019, was convicted of sexual interference against an underage girl. He was ordered deported that year, but he continued to live in Canada, using administrative levers to stall his removal. 'Between 2021 and 2023, the CBSA was unable to remove the applicant due to a lack of proper travel documentation,' notes a Federal Court decision that green-lit his scheduled January 2024 deportation. It's not clear whether Kundu was the uncooperative party in this case, or India. Article content This is the Canadian system working on autopilot. An endless series of processes set out by careless legislators allows convicted criminals repeated kicks at the can, and when foreign countries refuse to co-operate with our border officials, we sit back and let it happen. Article content Article content It doesn't have to be this way. If countries refuse to co-operate when we exercise our sovereign rights, they should face consequences. If, say, Pakistan is causing problems in this regard, Canada should refuse to issue visas to its travellers until it can cough up the travel documents we need. Public statements should be made by the public safety minister (hopefully a future, competent one who hasn't tried to help an admitted terrorist immigrate to Canada). Article content We could use some transparency, too: the CBSA should have an outstanding-travel-document dashboard on its website for all to see. It should also be obligated to confirm whether a particular deportee has actually been sent home. Article content The CBSA could be staffed to the brim with the greatest officers in the country, but it wouldn't change the high-level issue here: the agency is constrained by the meekness of its minister, and by Parliament via Canadian immigration laws — laws that support endless 'due process' for foreign criminals at the expense of public safety.
