Press Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad

Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad: Kenney said the man, who is of Palestinian origin and has legal status in Lebanon, was flown out of the country on Saturday on a plane chartered by the Canada Border Services Agency, according to CBC. Kenney said flaws and loopholes in the system were responsible for allowing Mohammad to take advantage of Canada's generosity. Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad has been deported to Lebanon following a nearly 26-year battle to stay in Canada. Bill Becker/Canadian Press Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney announced today that Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad, convicted in a deadly attack on an Israeli plane in the 1960s, has been deported to Lebanon a quarter-century after he was first ordered to leave Canada. "After a 26-year stay in Canada, we finally succeeded in deporting this convicted terrorist killer," Kenney said at a news conference. "Mr. Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad represents just how broken Canada's immigration and refugee determination systems had become under previous governments."
