Immigration And Refugee: Case Proceeds

Government Lawyers Dept: Lai was arrested last week as the possibility of his removal drew near. The Immigration and Refugee Board held a detention review Tuesday and ordered Lai released while his case proceeds, after an adjudicator concluded he didn't post a flight risk, according to CTV. In an urgent hearing Tuesday evening, Judge James O'Reilly temporarily stayed the release order and lai Changxing is currently challenging his deportation in Federal Court, where a hearing is scheduled in Vancouver next week to review whether he could be tortured or killed if returned to China. But within hours, government lawyers were in Federal Court asking a judge to overturn the immigration board decision on his detention. As reported in the news.
