Hillel Dept: Daniel Garcia, a Grade 11 student in Toronto, came to Canada three years ago with his older sister, who is gay. Her partner was murdered one night in Mexico while Garcia was in the room, the young man's supporters say, according to CTV. "He has heard from others, from his family there, that people have said that they're going to finish the job, that they're going to come out and kill him and his sister," Hillel Heinstein said Friday at a rally for Garcia and tORONTO — An 18-year-old refugee claimant is set to be deported Saturday to Mexico, where supporters fear he faces homophobic violence, after an 11th-hour attempt to keep him in Canada failed Friday. He has been attacked in Mexico because of his sister's sexuality and is afraid of what might await him in his home country, said Garcia's English language teacher who visited him Thursday in the detention centre. As reported in the news.
