Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front: Jose Figueroa

Jose Figueroa: On Friday, the Canada Border Services Agency issued an arrest warrant for Jose Figueroa, a man from El Salvador who has been living in the country for the past 16 years, according to CTV. While the government believes the FMLN to be a threat, there are many others who arent convinced and A man the government wants to deport for having ties to an organization it claims is a threat is seeking sanctuary in a Langley church. Originally allowed to stay on humanitarian grounds as a refugee claimant, Figueroa was declared inadmissible by the federal government in 2009 because of his admitted role as a student recruiter for the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front -- a group that resisted the former U.S.-backed military dictatorship in El Salvador.
