Metro News – Texas Pulls Out of Federal Refugee Resettlement Program
Gov. Greg Abbott said last week that Texas would withdraw from the federally funded refugee resettlement program unless the state’s demands for stricter refugee vetting were met.

Toronto Star – Gay Asylum Seeker Granted Last-Minute Reprieve from Deportation to Uganda
Yvonne Niwahereza Jele, 29, was ordered to leave Canada on Saturday, but Ottawa has now agreed to suspend her deportation for a year while border authorities assess the new risks she could face if returned to Uganda, a country where homosexuality is outlawed and punishable by life in prison.

However, the Immigration and Refugee Board, the Canada Border Services Agency or the Federal Court of Canada by law could not review the new information.
CTV News – Shackles Removed from Hospitalized Woman Facing Deportation: Minister
An ailing woman who is facing deportation to England has been freed from shackles that kept her restrained in her hospital bed following the intervention of two Nova Scotia cabinet ministers, one of whom said he was appalled by her treatment.

National Post – Illegal Immigrants not Entitled to Injury Compensation from Public Funds: Ontario Court
Illegal immigrants are not entitled to compensation from public funds for a motor vehicle accident, says Ontario’s court of appeal, which has rejected a hard-fought claim from a Brazilian man hurt in a hit-and-run when walking across a Toronto street. Jarley Silva was run down in 2011 while he was walking across Bloor Street West. The driver was never identified. […] “(The judge) recognized that de facto physical presence in Ontario, even if continuous, does not automatically establish ordinary residency in Ontario for the purpose of access to the Fund. The appellant was present in Ontario illegally, was subject to deportation on discovery and had already been deported once,” Justice Eleanore Cronk wrote on behalf of the appeals panel.
