Chand: Migrants

Federal Judge Dept: Gabriel Chand says the government has been clogging the Federal Court system with appeal after appeal -essentially trying to keep some of the migrants in indefinite detention, according to Vancouver Sun. Last week, a federal judge agreed with Chand, saying the practice could be "unending" and amounted to an "abuse of the court process." A lawyer for some of the recent Tamil migrants says he is preparing to sue the federal government for employing "abusive tactics" to keep two of his clients in detention, even after they had been ordered released. "The government has to be held accountable for what they're doing," Chand said Monday. "They've cost the taxpayers so much money." As reported in the news.
