#Canada is LONG OVERDUE to remove the #US as a #SafeThirdCountry refugee option

This is heinous!

SCOOP — The US sent Iraqi refugee Omar Ameen to Rwanda via new diplomatic relationship in which they've agreed to act as a "third country" for deportees unable to be safely returned to their country of origin, per cables reviewed by me.

This is first reported instance. Cable indicates more to come.
US “relocates” Iraqi refugee to Rwanda via new diplomatic arrangement
A State Department cable indicates at least 10 more people will be subjected to the same.

Here’s an example of a letter you can quickly send to the folks I suggest in the screenshot.

Add in your own little whatever, and your name and postal code at the bottom.

It just keeps getting worse. With recent reports of Trump planning to send immigrants (including possibly asylum-seekers & refugees) to #Libya & #Rwanda, it’s all the more urgent for #Canada to withdraw from the #SafeThirdCountry Agreement. For context, read my piece in @thestar.com 👇 #cdnpoli
amandaghahremani.com Amanda Ghahremani @amandaghahremani.com · May 3
In the last 100 days, the U.S. has rapidly descended towards authoritarianism & proven it is not a “safe third country” for refugees & asylum-seekers. I explain in @thestar.com why #Canada needs to wake up & suspend the Safe Third Country Agreement, now.

www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
After only 100 days, it’s already clear Trump’s America is not to be trusted. This is what Canada must now do
The Safe Third Country Agreement with the U.S. is predicated on the U.S. in fact being safe. It no longer is, writes Amanda Ghahremani.

Let’s hope this is the first hammer drop in the cancellation of the Safe 3rd Country Agreement with 🇺🇸 until Trump & his minions are gone.
If you have a gender neutral passport our govt is now warning you not to travel to the 🇺🇸.

As a Cdn I find this story SCANDALOUS.
For crying out loud, the US is no SafeThirdCountry, esp for people from countries that Trump has blacklisted!
And why are our border officials "under pressure to limit entries"?
All Carney's kowtowing didn't get us any tariff relief.
