Canada stops deportation of refugee

[repo]

Abdilahi Elmi, 34, arrived in Toronto in 1995 after fleeing Somalia and a living in a refugee camp. He and his mother were granted refugee protection in Canada. But at age 13, he was placed in foster care, and, by age 16, he was living on the streets and having run-ins with the law.

Elmi, who never acquired citizenship, recently served a six-month sentence for assault. Following his jail time, border officials put him on immigration hold and ruled he was “inadmissible” in Canada because of his criminal past.

He's been in Canada for 24 years and never acquired citizenship, talk about a lack of priorities..

I saw this a couple times, tbh I don't feel bad. He got involved with a gang so I mean you reap what you sow. I mean charged with assault less than a year ago and he's 35??! Child neglect?? I mean I get if he was 19 or 20 and was going through this I would feel bad but he's 35 and is still getting into trouble??!! And never bothered to get citizenship???

''He has no family there and does not know the language and culture.''

I think those are likely false claims, but good for him.

Abdilahi Elmi: His supporters said he is a product of Canada and a victim of neglect by children’s aid officials, who did not help him acquire permanent status in Canada.
This is his current pic. This is a grown up ass man, he can take care of himself.
