Canada's immigration authorities have faced significant challenges in their longstanding efforts to deport Jimmy DeMaria, an alleged leader in organized crime. DeMaria, who was convicted of second-degree murder in 1982, was first ordered to be deported in 1984 while serving his sentence. After serving ten years in prison, he was released but has never been removed from Canada, leading to continued legal battles over his status. Over the course of 42 years, Canadian authorities have made multiple attempts for his deportation, which have ultimately not succeeded. The situation underscores the complexities and difficulties involved in deporting individuals who have longstanding connections to Canada, even in the face of serious criminal convictions.
