No, they should have to complete their sentence in the country

@8PRVVJT4yrs4Y

@9C7LBXWNew Democratic2yrs2Y

@8KSPPR94yrs4Y
Yes, if it’s safe for them to return to their country and they entered Canada illegally
@8V3FW9Z4yrs4Y
No, just hold everyone accountable the same way regardless of immigration status.
