Reuters reveals Canada deporting thousands even as pandemic rages

Canada deported thousands of people even as COVID-19 raged last year, data seen by Reuters shows, and lawyers say deportations are ramping up, putting people needlessly at risk in the midst of a global health emergency. Like many other countries, Canada is struggling to stop a second wave from spiraling out of control, and its political leaders are begging residents to stay home to prevent the spread. Lawyers and human rights advocates are decrying Canada’s November decision to resume deportations.
