Reuters – Canada Telling Salvadorans Facing U.S. Exit That Haven Isn’t Guaranteed
Canada is sending a Spanish-speaking lawmaker to California to dissuade potential migrants from illegally crossing the border following Washington’s decision to end the temporary protected status of some 200,000 Salvadorans.

CBC News – ‘We Are Not Being Complacent’: Liberals Don’t Expect Sudden Surge of Salvadoran Asylum-Seekers
The Liberal government has a contingency plan for a potential flood of Salvadoran asylum seekers, but it is not expecting a sudden surge of people crossing the border from the United States.

CBC News – Abdoul Abdi’s Supporters Protest His Possible Deportation at Trudeau Town Hall
A 23-year-old former refugee from Somalia waited in a segregated cell Tuesday night as about two dozen of his supporters called attention to his case at the prime minister’s town hall in Lower Sackville, N.S.

The Department of Community Services never applied for him to become a Canadian citizen, and he’s now facing possible deportation because of his criminal past, according to his lawyer.
