Second, if I'm reading that right, the first man had finished his sentence so why shouldn't he be released pending the outcome of the danger opinion?
For the last guy, he's charged in Colorado but has yet to be convicted of anything. Are you advocating that we adopt a policy of innocent until proven guilty. . . . unless you're a foreigner? Again, if upon a hearing he's found to be a danger than by all means put him in custody, but not before.

First, you should realize that IRB is a quasi-judicial system with Adjudicators acting as judges. They are not labelled "judges" as in a criminal court but act the same within the IRB process. So they are essentially judges.
Yes the guy completed his criminal sentence, yes. I would suspect that since he raped someone he is a danger to the public not to mention he has nothing to lose by going into hiding as he is going to be deported. The immigration act allows for the detention of people for removal. I think this would be a good case to hold someone in detention until they have been deported.
The second guy is wanted on 5 counts of sexual assualt on children. Has he been convicted? No, that doesn't mean he has a right to walk around our country willy nilly. I suspect the reason he came to Canada was to evade those charges. WHy should he be allowed to walk our streets?
Really unbelievable.
