The planned deportation of Deborah Adegboye’s family comes as the provincial and federal governments wrangle over control of immigration
Deborah Adegboye , Quebec Soldaire MNA Guillaume Cliche-Rivard and NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice attend an event as community groups gather outside federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller's Montreal office on March 29 to demand a stop to the deportation of Adegboye's family next month.With one week left before her family’s scheduled deportation from Canada, Deborah Adegboye stood outside of the federal immigration minister’s Montreal office on Friday pleading for a chance to stay.
Since then, Adegboye says they have made a home in Montreal. Her children – including two others who were born in Canada – attend school in French. And Adegboye and her husband have worked as orderlies since the first years of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling between the homes of patients, many with disabilities, offering assistance with basic tasks.
“It’s been like they have given us death sentence,” Adegboye said outside Immigration Minister Marc Miller’s office, surrounded by community groups and friends who had come to support her cause. “Because I see no hope, no future for my children, for myself.” Cliche-Rivard, a member of the opposition Québec Solidaire, cited the province’s ongoing shortage of health-care workers as another factor in the case.
