Federal government quietly ends asylum seeker triage pilot program

OTTAWA — The Liberals have quietly ended a much-touted “triage” program that aimed to redirect asylum seekers away from crowded shelters in Montreal and Toronto.
The federal government says it needed buy-in for from the province of Ontario for this program to be fully implemented — something it was not able to secure.
Only five families were relocated to an alternate location through this program before it ended.
“While successful as a proof of concept, it is apparent that a larger or more sustained program would require close provincial support,” said Marie-Emmanuelle Cadieux, spokeswoman for Border Security Minister Bill Blair.
The triage program was announced last year after the Quebec government and the city of Toronto called on the federal government for help in dealing with an influx of asylum seekers flooding their temporary housing.
Ottawa’s response was a plan to “triage” arriving migrants to see if they would be willing to settle in areas outside of Montreal or Toronto to await the outcomes of their refugee claims. That wait can take up to two years due to backlogs in claims processing.
The federal government initially tried to work with Ontario as a number of the irregular migrants who crossed the border through a forest path at Roxham Road in Quebec said they hoped to settle in Ontario.
But the feds say the Doug Ford government would not play ball, forcing Ottawa to go to municipalities to find shelter options.
A pilot of the triage program was launched in September 2018 in the southwestern Ontario municipality of Chatham-Kent. Five families who arrived in Quebec but wished to live in Ontario were transported to the town just east of the border with Michigan, where temporary housing was easier to find than in Toronto.
Cadieux calls the pilot a “success” although no other refugee claimants took part.
“IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) has completed the pilot, which gave Chatham-Kent a chance to see how families settle and allow the federal government to learn what worked best in this pilot,” Cadieux said.
“While IRCC continues to work with partners to prepare contingency plans, the immediate priority is to provide financial support to provincial and municipal interim housing operations.”
In March, the department created a new interim housing assistance program to help provinces and municipalities recoup money they’ve spent providing temporary housing to the increased number of irregular migrants who have arrived in Canada since 2017.
Over 45,000 asylum seekers have crossed “irregularly” into the country via the Canada-U.S. border since early 2017, avoiding official border checkpoints where they would have been turned away and instructed to file an asylum claim in the United States.
Last week, the city of Ottawa received $10 million through this new federal fund.
The city of Toronto has already received $26 million and will receive another $45 million for its asylum costs.
Cadieux says Quebec “continues to be an outstanding partner” and that the Legault provincial government is actively engaged in discussions with federal officials regarding their request for funding to address immigration-related costs.
The federal department has been at odds with the province of Ontario over its demands for $200 million in refugee costs — a relationship Blair told reporters in May has been “an unfruitful effort at collaboration.”
However, Blair did have a “productive initial conversation” recently with Ontario’s new provincial minister responsible for immigration, Todd Smith, Cadieux said.
Meanwhile, the need for temporary housing for refugees has been easing. From January to May, 5,140 irregular migrants have arrived in Canada — a 45 per cent decrease compared to the same period last year.

The only ones muddled here is the loco collective and their minions. Want to know which group you are in??
The voters should have been pissed about a century of needless war (other that forwarding the interests of only the Jewish Banksters). If there is no outrage over 100M needless deaths the public is brain dead and lack any balls at all. Pinning your hopes of rescue in them is why you are a retard. Putin taking out the top 10 layers would pretty much solve the issue and a gentile bank would be $75T in the black rather than in the red as we are with Jews alone running the show (into the ground)

Iraqi immigrant to Germany gets life sentence for teenager's rape-murder

WIESBADEN — An Iraqi immigrant was sentenced in Germany to life imprisonment on Wednesday for raping and killing a 14-year-old girl, a case seized on by the far right to make a disputed link between crime and a record influx of migrants in 2015.
The verdict brought an end to a case that had shocked Germany, stoked debate about Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to welcome almost 1 million asylum seekers from the Middle East and Africa, and prompted accusations of racism against the far right for playing up links between crime and foreigners.
Ali Bashar, 22, arrived in Germany at the height of the 2015 crisis and was known to police for violent conduct before he raped and murdered Susanna Feldman. German authorities had rejected his asylum request.
Prosecutors said he fled back to Iraq after strangling the teenager in May 2018 and was arrested and extradited to Germany by Iraqi authorities a month later.
Wednesday’s verdict by the court in the western German city of Wiesbaden means Bashar will have to serve at least 15 years in prison, after which he could seek parole.
The high-profile case was used by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party to bolster its assertions that the record arrival of migrants had triggered a rise in crime.
Germany’s mainstream parties accuse the anti-migrant AfD of racism for dwelling on migrant crime while ignoring police statistics showing that crime has been falling among both Germans and foreigners.
The AfD, which entered the German national parliament in a 2017 election by drawing support from opponents of Merkel’s liberal immigration policies, denied harboring racist views.

Officials warned China, India could use communities in Canada to advance agendas

OTTAWA — Some of the federal government’s top bureaucrats have been warned that China and India might try to use their respective migrant communities in Canada to advance their own interests.
The stark warning is in a secret report prepared for deputy ministers attending a retreat on national security last year that also flagged the challenge in preventing foreign countries from launching “hostile actions” against Canada.
Such actions include cyber-attacks, spreading of misinformation and using diaspora communities, either directly or indirectly, to steal technology, influence elections and target the Canadian economy and infrastructure.
Obtained by The Canadian Press through the access-to-information law, the report’s release comes as the Liberals and Conservatives have sparred ahead of the fall election over the best way to deal with both China and India.
The report specifically cites the growing role Canada’s Chinese and Indian communities are playing in all levels of government as a good thing and reflective of the increasing diversity of this country’s political system.
However, it also warns of a risk of these communities being influenced — either knowingly or not — by foreign governments with their own agendas.

Concerns mount over ’criminalization’ of detained migrants in Canada

OTTAWA — Canada’s border-security agency will soon require all border-security officers working with detained migrants to wear defensive gear that includes batons, pepper spray and bulletproof vests — a policy that is drawing concern over a perceived “criminalization” of asylum seekers.
A new national policy on uniforms was adopted internally last year after the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) began moving what it deems “higher-risk immigration detainees” from provincial jails, where they were being held for security purposes, into one of the agency’s three “immigration holding centres.”
The agency decided all officers working in these centres must be outfitted in protective and defensive equipment to ensure a “common operational approach” especially in light of the newly transferred migrants previously held in jails, according to a briefing note obtained by The Canadian Press through access-to-information law.
“This will require greater CBSA officer presence in managing detainee populations at the IHCs, including the ability to de-escalate and intervene physically if necessary,” the briefing note says.
“Ensuring that IEOs (inland enforcement officers) wear their defensive equipment will enable officers to protect/defend themselves and others if necessary in the IHC.”
The defensive gear they are to wear includes steel-toed boots, “soft body armour,” a defensive baton, pepper spray and handcuffs. They will not carry firearms.
The changes have sparked concern this will create an environment within immigration detention centres akin to jail conditions and encourage the perception that detained migrants in Canada, including some children, are criminals worthy of punishment.
A group of doctors, lawyers, legal scholars and human rights organizations wrote two letters last year to Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale urging him to cancel the policy — calls they say have been ignored.
“We applaud your efforts to reduce the number of immigration detainees held in provincial jails. But raising security measures in an administrative detention centre to mirror those of a criminal institution defeats the purpose of transferring immigration detainees from jails to IHCs,” says one letter, dated June 22, 2018.
“The proposed policy would arm CBSA officers with some of the same tools as correctional officers in maximum-security facilities … (which) is clearly disproportionate to any potential risk and is not warranted.”
Concerns have also been raised internally by the union that represents the security officers themselves, who are worried about the increased risks of having weapons in the mix if a high-risk situation or confrontation does arise.
Anthony Navaneelan, a layer with Legal Aid Ontario who also works with the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, said it’s not every day the border-security union and migrant-advocacy groups agree.
Wearing defensive gear when dealing with refugees is “inappropriate and unnecessary,” Navaneelan said.
He pointed to a 2012 report by the UN special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, Francois Crepeau, that said detention of migrants on the grounds of their irregular status should “under no circumstance be of a punitive nature” and should never involve prison-like conditions or environments.
“The idea of getting them out of jails is to recognize the fact that it can re-traumatize refugee claimants to be putting them in detention to begin with when they’ve committed no crime,” Navaneelan said.
“Also in terms of necessity, CBSA hasn’t identified for us any incidents that have happened at the immigration holding centres that would warrant these types of measures. Certainly I’d, at best, call this a proactive measure in anticipation of some future concern … but we certainly think escalating or creating an environment where officers are equipped with these types of measures is almost a solution in search of a problem.”
Jailed migrants have right to challenge detention before judges: Supreme Court
Hundreds of ex-slaves in Libya coming to Canada: Immigration minister
Human smuggling getting sophisticated at Canada/U.S. border
In a statement, CBSA spokeswoman Rebecca Purdy said the agency’s operating procedures say officers “must” wear the protective and defensive equipment issued to them while on duty.
The decision to equip officers working in migrant detention centres with uniforms and defensive gear was made “to ensure national alignment of CBSA standards for its operations and is consistent with practices implemented domestically and internationally as it relates to detention,” Purdy said.
As for the concerns raised by the lawyers, doctors, human-rights groups and the officers’ union, CBSA “ensured that there is a balance reflected between the safety and security of officers and other detainees,” Purdy added.
Asylum-seekers in Canada can be detained for a number of reasons, including if CBSA officers have reason to believe they would be deemed inadmissible on grounds of security, criminality or records of violating human or international rights themselves.
A migrant also can be detained simply if a CBSA officer believes the person might be a no-show for his or her refugee-determination hearing. The vast majority of migrants detained by Canada are held for this reason, according to government statistics posted online. Last year, 81 per cent of detained migrants were held because they were deemed unlikely to appear for their hearings, including 40 children, most of whom were travelling with adults.
Janet Dench, executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees, said her organization was assured that migrants detained for administrative reasons such as this would be separated from those suspected of criminality when held in Canadian detention centres.
She questioned why CBSA officers will be required to wear defensive gear in all areas of these centres, rather than only in wings where migrants suspected of being security or criminal threats are being held.
She also echoed concerns that wearing this gear is akin to treating refugees like criminals
“The CBSA should very much reduce the criminalization of those people who are detained,” Dench said.

An American border patrol officer has caught the Internet by storm after going viral with a uniformed selfie.
On Monday, Texas-based agent Kiara Cervantes posted a selfie on Twitter, which shows her all glammed up while she posed in her uniform in front of a mirror.
The snapshot garnered more than 13,000 likes, 1,600 likes and 1,300 comments, with Twitter users dubbing her #IceBae.

Cervantes gained more attention after Twitter user @VibeHi retweeted a video of her.
“Holy s— … I think I’m coming down with a case of undocumentation,” he tweeted.
“#IceBae could detain me for however long she wants,” another tweeted alongside a picture of Cervantes in uniform while on duty.

The border agent was blown away by the attention she was getting.
“WOW I am in awe. Thank you for all the support!” she tweeted. “My job is so hectic at this moment but I am grateful. I love protecting my country! And I love my supporters!”
Cervantes was reportedly working security detail for Vice President Mike Pence during a recent tour of a border patrol station in Texas when she was photographed near a holding cell.
In a video responding to @VibeHi, Cervantes said it was indeed her real Twitter page and she couldn’t believe the support.
“Just woke up (and) saw that I needed to make a video so y’all could believe that it’s me,” she said. “It’s me. I’m a customs officer based in Texas. Yeah … I don’t know what else to say.”
Not everyone was happy with the attention Cervantes was receiving, however.
“Who knew being a concentration camp worker was something to be grateful about,” one tweeted.
“Yeah, you’re cute. But that doesn’t make you any less of a monster. Looks fade, baby. Evil is forever,” tweeted another.
Cervantes responded to some tweets, which included someone calling her a “Latina concentration camp guard.”
“I can’t agree with concentration camps,” she replied. “But … this station in particular isn’t meant to be a holding facility hence the overpopulation of aliens. We are doing our best but some people won’t ever understand. They don’t know the daily of what my job consists of.”
