Canada has paused the deportation of Angel Jenkel, a non‑binary US citizen who overstayed their visa while caring for their unwell boyfriend.
A federal judge suspended the removal after finding the original risk assessment ‘flawed and unreasonable,’ noting it relied on outdated information and failed to account for escalating anti‑LGBTQ+ conditions in the US.
Angel expressed fear about returning under the Trump administration, citing ‘changing and escalating’ threats amid rising anti‑trans legislation.
