A Somali man with a list of criminal convictions amassed while living in the United States and who was among the waves of irregular migrants coming to Canada fearing U.S. President Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, has had his refugee claim rejected.
Abdirizak Abdullahi Mohamed was among the hundreds of migrants who illegally entered Canada in 2017 by simply walking from the United States across the largely uncontrolled border into Canada near Emerson, Man., causing concern over border integrity and migrant safety.
Mohamed’s lawyer, Winnipeg-based Bashir Khan, said this case, seen as a snap shot from the wave of irregular migration, should comfort Canadians about the refugee system rather than cause alarm.
