Canada quandary: what to do with convicted Iraqi refugee child sex offender?

Fearing for his life, he doesn’t want to be deported back to Iraq, so Canadian officials are thinking of returning him to society in Canada!

Child molester Khatab Ismail: Deportation? or release to family in Canada?

From CTV News (emphasis mine):

 An Iraqi refugee who repeatedly molested a young boy in Canada over a two year span has served his sentence for the crime but remains in the custody of the Canada Border Services Agency.

Immigration officials have attempted to deport Khatab Ismail but Ismail fears a return to his homeland would put his life in jeopardy. Iraq does not want him returned and is refusing to issue travel documents.

If Ismail does not voluntarily agree to be deported, immigration officials may decide to release him into Canadian society next month.

Representatives with the Calgary Police Service say they are extremely concerned by the possibility Khatab Ismail, a man who has been deemed an untreated sex offender and a danger to the public if released.

Read it all.

His family says he will be killed in Iraq for this crime in Canada.  They don’t explicitly say it, but we all know that homosexual activity in Muslim countries can bring a death sentence (officially or unofficially!).  If it was a female child he molested, then maybe not so likely.

Those Iraqi refugees have been busy lately, see our entire archive here.   Our Canada archive is here.

Nightline Exclusive worth watching! Dozens of Terrorists Could Live in US as Refugees

Until this morning, I didn’t have the time to watch the Nightline Exclusive about how those two Iraqi refugee terrorists, arrested in Bowling Green, KY in 2011, were exposed.

It is really a fascinating piece if you haven’t watched it.

We reported the ABC News report on the story here, two days ago.

Go here to watch the whole thing!  The investigation is continuing into whether there are others like Waada Alwan and Mohanad Hammadi who got into the US with American blood on their hands after checking boxes on their refugee application that they had not been part of any terrorist action in Iraq.

We have written an awful lot on the case, if you type ‘Kentucky Iraqi terrorists’ into our search function, most of those earlier reports should be archived with those key words.

By the way, I noticed in the Nightline piece that there was some consternation by officials interviewed about why Bowling Green.  Bowling Green is a preferred refugee resettlement site for the US State Department and its nine federal contractors and has been for probably two decades.

How does a city become “preferred?”   First, it has to have some big companies nearby in need of cheap labor (chicken processing in this case), available public housing, and then it must have a low number on the squawk index!   What is that you ask?   That’s my terminology for whether there develops a cadre citizens in the community who ask what the heck is happening to our city?   No (or little) squawking=more refugees will be resettled there!

For new readers:  We have admitted to the US 19,491 Iraqis in fiscal year 2013 alone!
