OTTAWA — The Canada Border Services Agency is looking into tracking detainees electronically, rather than keeping them in custody. Because Khadr is a Canadian citizen, border services and immigration systems would not have been responsible for monitoring him. Detention guidelines require CBSA officers to consider all reasonable alternatives before detaining someone for immigration purposes. In March, the agency said two people had died in custody in the space of a week, but gave no details. In the criminal justice system, electronic supervision usually means using an ankle bracelet or something similar to track people via GPS or cellular data.
