BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Bill C-2, the rights-violating “Strong Borders” Act, is back in Parliament.
C-2 is anti-privacy, anti-migrant and anti-refugee and will make us all less safe. It can’t be allowed to pass!

It's impossible to think that we won't keep seeing a growing number of these devastating cases, especially if the Safe Third Country Agreement remains in place & the government succeeds in implementing new refugee claim restrictions in their proposed Bill C-2 www.bbc.com/news/article...
They're eligible for asylum in Canada. So why are they stuck in ICE jail?

Canada has been sharing intel with the US on traffickers in the Caribbean since 1993. Enhanced intel-sharing has been underway since 2024. If the Avoiding Complicity in Mistreatment by Foreign Entities Act means anything, all sharing that might lead to extrajudicial killings must now cease.

cyberlibertarian narratives are deeply entrenched, were explicitly designed in the 90s/00s to benefit tech companies, and have the added benefit of aligning with recent right-wing free speech bullshit.

a lot of that context is obscured today. we need to keep that US influence out of our countries.
