(Global News) Another senior member of the Iranian regime has been found living in Canada, bringing the number to 16, according to immigration officials.
The Canada Border Services Agency also said it had sent one more of the alleged officials to the Immigration and Refugee Board for a deportation hearing.
Seven deportation hearings are now underway against suspected senior Iranian regime members, in addition to two that have already resulted in deportation orders.
The updated figures are as of Oct. 15.
“We have taken significant measures to crack down on the murderous Iranian regime’s impact in Canada and to hold it to account,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday when asked about the matter.
