Border Protection: Sharif and San Diego

border protection: The Canadian government has said that Sharif presented himself at a regular port of entry in 2012 and was cleared as a refugee in Canada, according to The Chronicle Herald. In July 2011, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Sharif arrived on foot and with no documents from Mexico at a port of entry near San Diego. Trudeau says the government is trying to find out what happened with the case of Abdulahi Hasan Sharif. Because he had no legal status to enter the country, he was taken into custody and placed in a detention centre. In November of that year, he was released on an order of supervision but failed to report on his scheduled date in January 2012. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said an immigration judge ordered two months later that Sharif be sent back to Somalia, even though he had no criminal history. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
