Judge scraps ‘unintelligible’ order to free self-professed hitman claiming asylum
April 3, 2025
A Federal Court judge has ordered that a self-described hitman associated with a Mexican drug cartel remain in custody, throwing out a refugee board member’s ruling that he be released pending his asylum case.Justice Julie Blackhawk says the application for release must be reconsidered by a different board member than the original one whose reasoning she found “unintelligible.”She says it’s “impossible to reconcile” Immigration and Refugee Board member Maleeka Mohamed’s March 7 finding that the man posed a low danger, with his recorded admissions that he was a hitman.
