Controversy Over Immigration and Crime

So Prime Minister Carney has specifically approved of

keeping a serial, violent, sexual assault

rapist in the country. He said, "Keep him here.

Don't send him out."

Butler emphasized his point by calling Yohannes a convicted violent sexual

offender.

Send him back to Eritrea where he came from.

He's not a citizen. He doesn't have and shouldn't have protected

status. And the Minister of Education of the

Liberal government

said, "No, we're not gonna send him back.

We don't care if he's raped people.

We don't care if he tried to burn down a church.

We don't care if he's not even a citizen." In my daily podcast I thought, you know,

there's gonna be one day I won't have to be talking about illegal

immigration into Canada. And, uh, today

within a one 24-hour news cycle, let me tell you about,

first of all, Michelle

Rempel Garner, member of Parliament, tabled an

item

suggesting, not even suggesting, stating outright that the Auditor

General said there are thousands of undocumented

illegal immigrants here in the country that should be deported.

Now people can say, "Oh, well, you know, that's just a political statement."

But on the same day, here's CBC of all

networks reporting and talking to the police chief in

Ottawa about the fact that so far this year in the City of

Ottawa, there's an increase of 150

rapes, 150 rapes. And the chief of

police in Ottawa saying she's very concerned about

this.

But the report goes on to say when people are caught and if they

are illegal immigrants, they are often, and maybe even

in most cases, not deported. And so on the same day, very

same day, Toronto Crime Watch reports a case

of a guy by the name of Medhanie Yohannes, if I

correctly pronounce that.

Sexual assault again, found guilty.

This is not the first time.

And his crime record goes back quite a ways, all the way back to

2017

when he tried to burn a church down in Toronto.

And now a string of violent sexual assaults.

And Canada's border agency, and I used to oversee

that as Minister of Public

Safety, is appealing to the government and saying,

"Please do not give this person

some kind of protected status, but send him back

to Eritrea where he came from. He's not a citizen.

He doesn't have and shouldn't have protected status."

High-risk offender Medhanie Yohannes will remain in custody for breaching a court

order to stay away from downtown Guelph.

A judge denied his bail late Friday afternoon after the 37-year-old

has been in and out of custody for years.

It's a case of history repeating itself.

Court heard that Yohannes has between 13 to 15 breaches of court

orders. The Crown filed a 200-page bail package on

him, which

the judge called lengthy and unusual.

Making matters more unusual is the fact that bail hearings are often

protected by publication bans, but neither side requested one at the

latest

hearing, so CTV News can share new details about

Yohannes'

history, which includes a steady criminal record

since 2018

after first arriving to Canada from Eritrea a year earlier.

During the hearing, Assistant Crown Attorney Robert Butler

peppered Yohannes with

questions and statements. Butler asked if there was something unclear about

what court has repeatedly told them about not going to certain places.

You've done about seven months of jail time on these breaches.

You have been found guilty of sexually assaulting women.

Last year, while being assessed by a medical doctor,

you told the doctor you would

sexually assault her if it weren't for the presence of other

men there.

Butler inquired why during a previous arrest Yohannes had his penis out in a

cell.

"Just to pee or to do something," Yohannes said through his interpreter.

The Crown went on to ask if Yohannes had any remorse for what he's

done to women

and whether he thinks he has the right to walk up to a woman and touch her.

"You're asking me a lot of questions," Yohannes responded, going on to say that

he pleaded guilty to those charges so he could go home.

Yohannes told court he has family that lives in Guelph,

but said on Friday if he

were released that day, he did not have anyone

that could act as his

supervisor. That's why Butler, on behalf of the Crown, argued

that Yohannes

must be detained because during previous medical assessments he was deemed

to be in the 99th percentile for re-offending and requires

the highest level of supervision.

Butler emphasized his point by calling Yohannes a convicted violent sexual

offender who does not abide by court orders even when he has one

in his back pocket.

And the Minister of Education of the Liberal government said, "No,

we're not gonna send him back. We don't care if he's raped people.

We don't care if he tried to burn down a church.

We don't care if he's not even a citizen.

No, we're not gonna send him back to the

country where he was

from." Minister of Immigration says, "I know how cabinet works"

And she would not say that, this minister would not have said

that without the

Prime Minister's specific approval.

So Prime Minister Carney has specifically approved of

keeping a serial, violent, sexual assault

rapist in the country. He said, "Keep him here.

Don't send him out." This is ridiculous, folks.

It needs to stop.

I've said before, and I'll say again,

that if the lawmakers of the land won't protect

the children of the land from the predators in the land,

then they don't really have the right to govern the land.
