Allan Rock is a former minister of justice, attorney-general of Canada and Canadian ambassador to the United Nations. This op-ed was first published in <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/opinion\/article-putting-migrants-in-federal-prisons-is-unjustified-and-unjust\/\">The Globe and Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, with a single sentence buried in Annex 3 of its latest budget, the federal government shamefully doubled down on rights-violating practices of the Canadian Border Services Agency by expanding immigration detention into federal prisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immigration Minister Marc Miller insisted that prisons would only be used for \u201ca very small segment\u201d of the migrant population, which he described as \u201cnot criminals,\u201d but \u201chigh-risk\u201d individuals who often have \u201csevere mental health problems.\u201d In fact, the CBSA already has a policy of incarcerating people with \u201cmental health issues\u201d in provincial jails in order to provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/security-securite\/detent\/menu-eng.html\">\u201caccess to specialized care.\u201d<\/a> As if jail or prison is the right place to get mental health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Member of Parliament Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe stated in a <a href=\"https:\/\/ici.radio-canada.ca\/nouvelle\/2067412\/detention-migrants-prison-federal-penitencier-securite\">Bloc Quebecois letter to the Trudeau government<\/a>, \u201cAt a time when Canada prides itself on being a welcoming land open to immigrants, locking up immigrants in penitentiary institutions, with no respect for human rights, is nonsense, especially for a G7 country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a violation of international human rights standards, and a betrayal of Canada\u2019s proud reputation as a safe haven for migrants and refugees, to those \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JustinTrudeau\/status\/825438460265762816?lang=en\">fleeing persecution, terror and war<\/a>,\u201d as our Prime Minister once tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CBSA has been undermining that reputation for years. Since 2016, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/security-securite\/detent\/stat-2012-2023-eng.html\">about 45,000 people<\/a> have been detained in Canada under immigration law. This group has included refugee claimants, children, breastfeeding mothers with infants and people with disabilities. The vast majority had posed no risk to \u201cpublic safety\u201d: over 90 per cent were incarcerated because the CBSA suspected they may not appear for an immigration proceeding, or because the CBSA was not satisfied with their identity documents. Rather than using more humane (and less expensive) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/security-securite\/detent\/menu-eng.html#s3\">alternatives to detention<\/a> that allow for people to live in the community, the CBSA opted to detain thousands of migrants, even though every year, the agency monitors thousands of people in the community, and it is rare that any of them abscond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While fewer than 10 per cent of detentions over the past eight years involved allegations of public-safety risk, the CBSA repeatedly cites exceptional cases to justify a broader use of detention. Even accepting the CBSA\u2019s flawed argument, resorting to federal prisons to detain the relatively small number of \u201cpublic safety\u201d cases is an overreaction when other, less extreme alternatives are available. The CBSA\u2019s three immigration detention facilities \u2014 which were allocated this year to receive <a href=\"https:\/\/apple.news\/PwtwG6tNCxifepShxWScwJ3\">$325-million in upgrades<\/a> in the budget \u2014 operate like medium-security prisons, with constant surveillance, guards and segregation cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CBSA remains the only major law enforcement agency in Canada without independent civilian oversight. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.parl.ca\/legisinfo\/en\/bill\/44-1\/c-20\">Bill C-20<\/a>, which would provide for that oversight, has been languishing in Parliament for months.) The unchecked exercise of the CBSA\u2019s broad powers has repeatedly resulted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/report\/2021\/06\/17\/i-didnt-feel-human-there\/immigration-detention-canada-and-its-impact-mental\">human rights violations<\/a> in immigration detention, and investigations have uncovered shocking actions by CBSA officers, including <a href=\"https:\/\/apple.news\/AvezrE9dgQOKGOAJ4E2Ia8g\">hiding evidence<\/a>, strategizing to \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/news\/gta\/what-if-we-rattle-his-f-n-cages-government-officials-overheard-discussing-how-to-cross\/article_0074dc46-d394-5b1e-ad99-ef6d9953186f.html\">rattle the cages<\/a>\u201d of a man with mental health conditions detained for over five years, and attempting to carry out deportation using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/news\/canada\/canadian-border-agent-under-investigation-after-passport-for-immigration-detainee-deemed-fraudulent\/article_658e06bf-9baf-534f-b599-a2cc38240af6.html\">fraudulently obtained passport<\/a>. A recent Toronto Star investigation found that an \u201calarming\u201d number of immigration detainees locked up in Ontario jails had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/news\/investigations\/alarming-number-of-jailed-immigration-detainees-have-mental-health-problems-star-analysis-finds\/article_4b2cef34-5dc7-5718-a233-1f2e074db29a.html\">pre-existing mental health conditions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immigration detention can be of indefinite duration: there is no time limit imposed by law. People who have committed no crime can sometimes remain there for months or years. Since 2000, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2023\/01\/27\/deaths-underscore-inhumanity-canadas-immigration-detention#:~:text=Since%202000%2C%20at%20least%2017,British%20Columbia%20immigration%20holding%20center.\">at least 17 people<\/a> have died in immigration detention. At a recent inquest into the death of detainee <a href=\"https:\/\/apple.news\/Pgdk6C2i4JxomDSoRS0LbBR\">Abdurahman Hassan<\/a>, the jury\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/apple.news\/PgbFF51mm_XC67QxO9A06Ly\">first recommendation<\/a> was to stop the use of jails in detaining migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the launch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/welcometocanada\">#WelcomeToCanada<\/a> campaign, led by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, all 10 provinces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2024\/03\/21\/canada-all-10-provinces-end-immigration-detention-jails#:~:text=(Ottawa)%20%E2%80%93%20All%2010%20of,Amnesty%20International%20Canada%20said%20today.\">committed to ending<\/a> the use of provincial jails for immigration detention. In doing so, many provincial officials expressed grave concerns about human rights abuses. Over the past two years, hundreds of <a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/5f85d82966bb203a90d1375a\/t\/627d58515b07711e77347ce6\/1652381777493\/Lawyers+%26+academics+open+letter+against+immigration+detention+in+jails+%28May+2022%29.pdf\">lawyers, academic scholars<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/5f85d82966bb203a90d1375a\/t\/627c499270a83f0d97833e0d\/1652312467205\/Healthcare+providers+open+letter+against+immigration+detention+in+jails+%28May+2022%29.pdf\">health care providers<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/cpj.ca\/interfaith-call-to-action-ending-human-rights-violations-in-immigration-detentions-in-canada\/\">people from faith-based communities<\/a>, alongside individuals with experience in immigration detention and dozens of <a href=\"https:\/\/amnesty.ca\/human-rights-news\/open-letter-calls-on-federal-government-to-end-the-incarceration-of-people-in-immigration-detention\/\">leading Canadian and international organizations<\/a>, have called on the federal government to end the use of jails for the purpose of detaining people while their migration requests are under review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Brunelle-Duceppe\u2019s letter put it this way: \u201cMr. Minister, I appeal today to your humanity so that your government reconsiders its position and rejects this project, in favour of a more appropriate follow-up to the situation of foreign nationals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We join in that appeal. Detaining survivors of displacement \u2014 especially in prisons \u2014 only deepens the trauma that many of them have endured. The road to a welcoming society is not paved with human rights violations. We need to invest in people, not prisons. And it\u2019s time the federal government got on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lloyd Axworthy and Allan Rock write in The Globe and Mail that the Canadian federal government&#8217;s decision to expand immigration detention into federal prisons is a violation of international human rights standards, and a betrayal of Canada\u2019s proud reputation as a safe haven for migrants and refugees.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9098,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[424,99,416,229,198],"ppma_author":[93,94],"class_list":["post-9926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinion","tag-asylum-seekers","tag-canada","tag-detention","tag-human-rights","tag-migration","author-lloyd-axworthy","author-allanrock"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
