Global- Extortion suspects have all claimed refugee status, Canada’s border agency says
The foreign nationals were identified by B.C.’s Extortion Task Force, but once the Canada Border Services Agency began investigating them, all claimed to be refugees. As a result, deportations of the 14 suspects have been put on hold until the Immigration and Refugee Board decides whether they have legitimate cases for asylum.

Answer: Double Tap
Well then they must be legit refugees.
Peoplekind in the extortion rackets never lie, it’s one of their rules.
Just wondering out loud here, but shouldn’t an extortion charge count for more than a refugee claim in the Scales of Justice?
Somebody got their thumb on the scale, maybe?
L – For decades vicious criminals and terrorists have been able to shelter in the arms of Liberal gov’t. institutions. Canada, once so peaceful, prosperous and a trust society, has been changed, especially so, in the major cities, into the opposite to a startlingly degree.
We’ve surrendered the solving of crime and every other problem, from the citizenry to metastasized bureaucracies; whose size and power grows over us, at the expense of our bank accounts and the infringement of our Rights. Said bureaucracies laud their activities to justify their growing budget and power, but not only don’t solve or reduce the problems. They’ve learned how to brainwash large numbers of us into surrendering the critical thought, we need to take back control. Reality bites, we wake up and shoulder the responsibility of a self-governing people, or face serfdom to the “you’re so vain” globalists for generations.
No one should be surprised, and the Liberals won’t provide a solution.
How about all these be sent to the barracks at Alert Nunavut until the IRB can get to them.
They can’t be deported. They’re wanted for extortion in their home countries.
As a result, deportations of the 14 suspects have been put on hold until the Immigration and Refugee Board issues each of them a Liberal Party voter card along with all the other benefits and money that Canadian taxpayers can only dream about.
Why would any country accept a refugee claimant without publicly declaring the original country a Sh!t Hole and application of some sanctions? For the claim to be accepted there must be something rotten back home.
The Mayor of Surrey BC has something to say on the matter…
“On behalf of the City of Surrey, I am appalled to learn that suspects identified by B.C.’s Extortion Task Force are claiming refugee status to evade deportation.
Surrey has been disproportionately impacted by these extortion attempts, and those responsible must face swift justice.
Law-abiding Canadians and foreign nationals in our city deserve better than to see our legal and immigration systems abused by criminals to extend their stay in Canada.
The federal government must move to immediately fix Canada’s immigration and deportation laws to protect our communities. Guests in our country who break our laws need to be sent home.
Surrey is proud to welcome a broad diversity of Canadians who deserve to feel safe in their homes, their businesses, and their neighbourhoods. Our federal government must step up and do their part to keep our residents safe from international thugs and criminals.”
