Deportation Order: Organizers Claim and Bloor Streets

deportation order: Protesters locked arms, forming a human wall, while holding signs and chanting Let Beverly stay, according to CTV. Organizers told CP24 that Beverly Braham was recently handed an immediate deportation order scheduled for September 21. All four directions of Yonge and Bloor streets were blocked for about 20 minutes by protesters during morning rush hour, demanding that the 38-year-old Jamaican national be allowed to stay in the country with her husband and new baby. Braham, who is married to a Canadian citizen, is residing in Toronto while she completes a 12-month sponsorship program. While her sponsorship is expected to expire soon, organizers claim the Canadian Border Services Agency are attempting to deport her even sooner. She gave birth to her son two months ago.
