An Edmonton man is facing deportation to Somalia, even though he’s never lived there.
Saeed Jama is Saudi-born and was raised in Canada by his Somalian parents.
Jama is a convicted drug dealer. He tells The Globe and Mail he’s tried to clean-up his life, but didn’t have a chance to atone for his crimes so he’s being deported to a country our federal government calls “extremely volatile” and advises Canadians not to travel to.
Jama’s family is hoping for a last minute stay of deportation by public safety minister Vic Toews, but fear it’s unlikely.
