Kevin, clad in the regulation grey-green prisoner's jumper, had left for classes on-site at the T. Don Hutto Family Detention Center in Taylor, Texas, yesterday when he realized he'd left his photo ID behind.
When he went back to get it, he was greeted with joyful news: The family's Canadian lawyer, Andrew Brouwer, had just called to say that Immigration Minister Diane Finley had promised to issue a reprieve.
"I'm just so happy," Kevin told the Star in a telephone interview. "I just can't wait to be home and see my friends in Canada. I love Canada."

thank him and Monia for exposing a side of Canada I would never have
known about without them.
Yesterday I heard about a sweatshop in the US that was raided and all of the
illegal immigrant children were dispersed to different areas of the states and
in particular Texas away from their families and homes. There has been
some outrage over this too. This happened at the same time Bush was telling
Mexico he's going to do something helpful(?) about illegal immigrants, but he
still can't say a wall will not be erected between the two countries.
Also, on Jim Lehrer (PBS), I heard a Mexican offical say that the Mexian
government is not happy with the USAmerican security requirements. He was
making statements much like you hear in Canada, in that they are way too
excessive.
