Judge halts deportation of non-binary American in ruling after Trump’s gender edicts
A Federal Court judge has halted the deportation of a non-binary American in a ruling that criticized Ottawa’s Immigration Department for not properly considering the situation of LGBTQ Americans since U.S. President Donald Trump took office.
Angel Jenkel, a 24-year-old multimedia artist from Minnesota who is engaged to a Canadian, can now remain in Canada while their case is judicially reviewed, in a judgment that their lawyers hailed as precedent-setting.
The Latin Times reports, Mx. "Jenkel's legal team says the ruling could open the door for other LGBTQ Americans facing similar threats under current US policies to seek refuge in Canada."
