Federal Court Of Canada: Democratic Republic Of Congo

Foreign Affairs Department Dept: In March 2011, the Federal Court of Canada confirmed a previous decision, by the Immigration and Refugee Board, ordering that Dikila MBosso, 21, be deported to Democratic Republic of Congo, after the court determined he was a member of a street gang tied to the Bo-Gars and was a dangerous criminal, based on his criminal record as a youth. Removing MBosso to the African nation where he was born has proven difficult, as it is a country that Canada's Foreign Affairs Department advises against visiting, according to Montreal Gazette. Before he was arrested again last week, accused of drug trafficking, MBosso al-ready had three other cases filed against him: illegal pos-session of ammunition for three types of prohibited fire-arms, forcibly confining five men in a social housing unit with two accomplices and leaving the scene of a car accident and a street gang member who was ordered out of the country more than a year ago has been arrested again while he still has three major criminal cases pending. MBosso was part of a feature story published by The Gazette in April, revealing that part of his criminal re-cord involved the stabbing of Martha Taylor Gregory, a woman who was 64 in 2005 when she was stabbed and beaten by four youths who stole her car. All four youths convicted in the 2005 case have since reoffended as adults. MBosso was the youngest of the four at the time, but was already part of a street gang at age 13.
