Every week, tens of dark-windowed cars leave 1010 St. Antoine Street in downtown Montreal. Inside are sisters, fathers, mothers, brothers and children forcibly expelled from their homes by the Canadian state.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0is what a family from Ville St. Laurent faces\u00a0in\u00a0August. The father will be deported after 30 years in Canada, to a country he hasn’t seen since he was 9. He’ll be separated from his partner, mother, and kids for years and perhaps never see them again.<\/p>\n

It’s a case of double punishment, where the state first criminalizes and then deports immigrants. Cops produce “criminal immigrants” through racial profiling; the immigration system then violently expels them.<\/p>\n

Come out to provide moral and financial support\u00a0for\u00a0this family struggling to stay together and uphold their dignity.<\/p>\n

Funds raised will go to legal and logistical costs for this family’s border struggle. Surplus to Solidarity Across Borders support fund.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
