<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Reputed gangster Jackie Tran's track record of victories has continued in his convoluted and protracted bid to duck deportation.
Yesterday, lawyer Raj Sharma won Tran's release at a detention review hearing, the latest coup in a five-year battle to stay in Canada.
Immigration Refugee Board member Otto Nupponen sided with Sharma, rather than Canada Border Services Agency hearing officer Pete Stathakos, that Tran should be out of custody pending deportation appeals.
Stathakos argued for Tran's detention, saying Tran poses a flight risk as well as a danger.
Nupponen also dismissed suggestions a June incident in which Tran earned a bylaw citation for startling waterfowl was relevant.
Sources said Tran was cited after splashing ducks while rafting on the Bow River with friends -- among them, Stathakos said, gang members and a man before the courts on criminal charges.
Sharma said that was "grasping at straws," while Nupponen said he didn't "have much to say about (how) it might relate to him being a danger to the public."
Tran's release from the remand centre -- where he has been in virtual solitary confinement and shackled hand and feet for brief periods when he is not -- comes a day after an Immigration and Refugee Board ruling found reasonable grounds he is an organized criminal and a member of one of two gangs involved in a deadly battle.
Stathakos argued that ruling should bolster arguments to keep him in custody.
Given removal is not imminent, and public risk and flight risk not proven, Nupponen released Tran with conditions including a curfew.
Police spokesman Kevin Brookwell said the latest development for a man deemed by the force to be a public danger is not surprising.
"We are very, very disappointed -- this ruling is just another part of the ongoing saga," Brookwell said.
<span style="font-weight: bold">"Here is someone who came to Canada, committed a significant crime and was convicted and it, has been accepted by a government agency he belongs to one of our gangs, and by his own admission still socializes with gang members and is known to the gang unit -- and yet, despite all that, he is released into the public." </span>
Tran has been in custody since late last month after failing to show up for a meeting with officials prior to a deportation set for earlier this week.
Now, Sharma scoffs at suggestions Tran faces imminent or eventual deportation as "speculation."
<span style="font-weight: bold">"Just because my client is unpopular doesn't mean he gets deported," Sharma said.</span>
It could take months for an appeal of a decision upholding Tran's deportation.
