## Resource

A former child soldier from Sierra Leone, who dodged deportation for a decade, now faces jail time after illegally re-entering Canada. Ibrahim Jalloh, once recruited into violence against his will, became a permanent resident in 2007 — but his criminal record since 2010, including fraud, drug trafficking, and repeated court violations, painted a clear pattern of law-breaking. Though the judge acknowledged his trauma, she dismissed claims of persecution in Sierra Leone as unreliable. His deliberate return to Canada without authorization — this time caught in Calgary — led to a five-month sentence, emphasizing that his choices, not his past, carried the weight of his punishment.
