The first thing we do...

...is hang all the lawyers...
The case goes before the Federal Court of Canada next week and if Mr. Saini is successful, the CBSA could be ordered to "un-deport" him -- to bring him back to Canada.

The appeal is based on a 2007 case involving a schizophrenic Jamaican with an extensive criminal record. The CBSA deported him but was forced to fly him back to Canada after a judge ruled that federal officials had inadvertently misled him.

Last fall, the CBSA was similarly forced to return a former Toronto gang member to Toronto three years after he had been deported to Sri Lanka.
Good grief.
