Ontario's decision to continue imprisoning immigration detainees, despite previous commitments to end the practice, raises concerns over human rights violations and the mental health of migrants.
Human rights advocates have long argued that the incarceration of migrants is a breach of international law and has detrimental effects on the mental health of detainees.
The Ontario government's extension of its agreement to detain migrants until September 2025, rather than following through on a previous commitment, is seen as problematic.
Stephanie Valois emphasized that the prolonged detention of migrants is not just an administrative issue but a serious violation of international standards and norms.
