Irshad Mohamed Ahmed came to Canada as a refugee from Somalia in 1990 when he was seven years old. In 2015 he was given notice that he might be returned to Somalia, even though he had been granted refugee status. Last year, the government declared he was a danger to the public and his deportation would be in accordance with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. One of the documents considered by a delegate for the Minister of Public Safety when making that decision was a report on Somalia found on the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees website. Brown considered it a reliable source, but said it must be part of the disclosure process prior to a deportation decision.
