Federal Authorities: Mississauga Hardware Store

Arshad Mohammad Dept: Arshad Mohammad was arrested in a Mississauga hardware store in July, a just couple of days after the federal authorities first publicized his mugshot along with those of 29 others. At the Friday hearing, the 42-year-old Pakistani looked on in an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs before being ordered returned to jail pending his next hearing, according to Globe and Mail. Refugee advocates predicted that rights-abusing countries would take notice of the allegations, and that any deportees could face abuse. The Tories were more inclined to boast about the busts so far, tips have led to over a dozen arrests, including some foreigners who have since been deported and that assessment raises questions about whether the government is unwittingly undermining its own efforts to remove dangerous immigrants. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney held a press conference applauding the arrest, saying the man had ties to terrorism, and solicited the public s help in tracking down more suspects on the government s list.
