Reputed gang member Jackie Tran - who represented himself - has won his release from custody.

An Immigration and Refugee Board member ordered Tran's release this afternoon, with conditions, saying federal officials didn't prove he posed a flight risk or a danger to the public.

The hearing is continuing and the IRB member will disclose his reason for releasing Tran later this afternoon.

Police and the Canada Border Services Agency arrested Tran on Wednesday for allegedly breaching a condition requiring him to live with his mother.

Tran, 26, represented himself because his application for legal aid had not been processed in time for him to hire a lawyer for the hearing.

Tran questioned a Calgary police detective involved in investigating the alleged breach, and made a closing argument on his own behalf.

Tran had been free on conditions while awaiting decisions from the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada on two separate bids to have him deported to his native Vietnam.

Tran is appealing a previous ruling that ordered his deportation in 2004, based on his convictions for drug trafficking and assault with a weapon.

A ruling on this appeal is expected sometime in April or May.

Earlier this year, authorites launched a second bid to deport Tran, this time on the basis of his involvement in gang activity.

A decision in that case won’t be made until after May 1, the deadline for written arguments from both sides.

Tran has repeatedly denied being a gang member, but police officers have previously testified he is a member of the FOB Killers.

An ongoing war between FOB and the FOB Killers has been responsible for at least 25 homicides since 2002.

The conflict started among a group of friends who began dealing drugs in high school that split into two factions.

FOB was originally known as “Fresh Off the Boat,” but its members now favour other names, particularly “Forever Our Brother.”

The breakaway faction became known as the FOB Killers, or FK.

Tran’s mother, Laura, and girlfriend, Dawn Ngo, have pleaded with authorities to allow him to remain in Canada, saying he is responsible for providing for his family.


More to come

I think they should stop the whole community service crap and replace it with mandatory hours worked at like, Denny's or KFC, supervised.
Or, make them wear a giant chicken suit and wave at people driving by.

Why can't they get jobs? Why do they need to be "provided for"?

G-spec 03-28-2009 11:11 AM

so this guy is half honger half nammer judging by his name ?? Jackie.... Tran

Jason00S2000 03-28-2009 11:20 AM

So this is a couple of groups making money off drug sales?


I say let them continue, the war on drugs has failed.

slammer111 03-28-2009 12:11 PM

5 @#%*!! years and still pending!?

I wonder if they've even tried doing a CRA audit of him. That's the easiest way to see whether or not he's a gangbanger, and would only take a week or two.

Ludepower 03-28-2009 12:22 PM

Drug trafficking and assualt with weapon constitutes deportation? Let's deport every asian drug dealer in vancouver too ok? :rolleyes:

R8 03-28-2009 12:26 PM

he looks like Jin...

Tim Budong 03-28-2009 03:54 PM

sadly, that is a legitimate argue for him and the court does honor that here in canada

Aetios 03-28-2009 04:08 PM

FOB and FOB killers? Could be more original with their choice of gang names. Drug trafficking and assault seems like a very meager reason for deportation.

Vansterdam 03-28-2009 06:14 PM

fob vs fob killer LOL O SHIT
