Toronto High School Dept: Daniel Garcia, a Grade 11 student at Parkdale Collegiate Institute, fled from Mexico to Toronto three years ago along with his sister Brenda, who is gay. But their refugee claim failed, and on Thursday evening Garcia, 18, was arrested and taken to a Canada Border Services Agency detention centre, where his sister was already being held, according to The Star. Garcia was living with his sister in Mexico City when threats started to mount against them. On his 12th birthday, he says a group of teenagers hurled homophobic insults against him before attacking and assaulting him and a Toronto high school student facing deportation back to Mexico says he fears the homophobic outlaws who shot his sister s partner to death in front of him are now waiting to kill him too. His supporters say he deserves more time because of the danger he faces in Mexico and legal mishaps that befell his case. As
