Episode Details

A 34-year-old man from Sierra Leone, David Jajua, just got a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence — his third major conviction. While on court supervision, police found a gun, cocaine, and fentanyl in his car. Though his immigration status and lack of job opportunities may have pushed him into crime, the judge made clear that public safety and deterrence outweighed mitigating factors. But here’s the twist: despite his serious record, Jajua’s deportation isn’t automatic. Canada’s immigration system often delays removal, especially when home countries refuse to take back convicted foreign nationals — and complications like pending refugee claims can further stall the process. This case exposes a messy, slow-moving system that leaves many wondering: how do we keep dangerous criminals out — and why does it take so long?
