The Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre, seen here, is one of the provincial jails that accepts migrants detained by the Canada Border Services Agency.
According to an Immigration and Refugee Board document, Alex was held in solitary confinement "in a very, very small cell ... there is not a toilet in the cell, there is a hole in the ground.""It kind of makes you feel helpless," said Alex. "It was a system like to break you."His lawyer Chantal Ianniciello said her client, initially physically strong, became skeletal and almost died.
When taken to appointments outside the jail, immigration detainees are handcuffed, shackled and subjected to strip searches, including rectal searches, Ianniciello said.Provincial jails house criminals serving sentences of less than two years, as well as accused persons awaiting trial and convicted persons awaiting transfer.they pose a danger to the public;Most immigration detainees do not pose a danger to the public, according to CBSA's own data.
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch are behind the #WelcometoCanada campaign calling on the provinces to end their contracts with CBSA, under which they agree to detain migrants in their jails. "These are real human tragedies," said Langlois. "If we think that these people have feelings, reactions like us, we cannot act in this way".
The agency also detains "those who have serious mental health issues," according to 2018 internal documents Radio-Canada obtained under the Access to Information Act.
As they should... continue to do the due diligence before releasing anyone into Canadian society!!
Culture can't be a top down thing, as you prove. Culture comes from the people. Your support of the Alphabet people and your sexualization of children are just two outstanding examples. Tell your President who lives in Brooklyn NY this. Two more years of you ... DefundCBC
People who skirt the rules are not “migrants “. They are illegals because they came here illegally.

If they didn't come here legally...they broke the law
Not surprising, considering many of those provinces are run by conservative premiers. CCCC aka Conservative Cucks Creating Chaos
Funny the ones crossing at the US border are supposed to be sent back because they are coming from a safe country but CBC ignores that.
First sentence? Really?
Send them home ( back) done too easy
Canada is not the country it claims to be.
Unvaccinated have been detained in Canada for a year. But that doesn’t matter
Thank you for your work CBC and Radio-Canada.
Nice to see all the racists not understand immigration and refuge laws
Asylum seekers have broken no laws and get SA by guards in extra legal detention. Wow. That's extremely fucked up.
This is crime. Where is law and order? All guilty parties need to be punished this is the law
Arrest, detain, deport
They shouldn’t be allowed here until the backlog of immigrants doing it the legal way are solved. Most cross over from the US where they are not being persecuted
Migrants? Perhaps they are Illegal migrants?
Blame Trudeau for having open borders. No reason to not come to Canada legally.
Hello, reality check. Migrants are supported financially better then many Canadian seniors. Immigration has to be controlled, no friigin open door policy of the Trudeau gang. Immigration yes but intelligent controls.
So they are breaking immigration law but not accused of a crime, how does that make sense
Bunch of old Europeans calling these people 'illegals'. The irony is hilarious.
Legal laws of processing history & country background, I see no issues of confirming that there were no violations from home country.
When are you going to cover the illegal actions of this JT government and the travel restrictions imposed on Canadians? Shame on you CBC!
You mean criminals that cross our borders?
a lot of people in the comments seem to think we're above the law. like it or not, thugs, the law is the law. let them out. backtheblue
You have to love the Orwellian writing on the wall being slowly adjusted to subvert linguistics. They're not illegal immigrants, they're 'Migrants'. This is pretty much lying by omission.
How many Canadians are aware that convicted male sex offenders are demanding & receiving transfers into lower security women's prisons by claiming to be trans? Politicians & bureaucrats allowing this are complicit in rape, but the media usually ignores these horrifying stories.
They're illegals, here illegally.
How about this? If we find you and you're here illegally, we provide you with a life raft & give you a lift to international waters. You're free to make your way from there.
ILLEGALS.
We can’t afford to keep letting people in until we fix our healthcare, especially illegals who think they are above everyone else. Lock them up and send them home.
If you sneak into a country, you're not an immigrant, you're an infiltrator.
Then send them back. Problem solved.
Illegally entering country aint a crime?
If they want we can send them home, they are here illegally
