Failure to Deport Singh resulting in Loss of Morale

By immlawyer

It appears that the inability to deport Laibar has taken a toll on CBSA enforcement officers:

As first reported in The Globe and Mail this week, Mr. Moran has expressed concerns about the suggestion that the case of Mr. Singh has gone on too long, frustrating B.C.-based members of his union.

A confidential assessment of the situation, prepared for Mr. Moran by a B.C. employee of the agency's removals unit, said most officers feel "not removing Mr. Singh makes us look impotent."

The author of the assessment says officers are "very frustrated about how the case is being handled, and how it makes us look."

It appears that CBSA enforcement have been advised that the removal of Laibar Singh is a question of when, not if.
