The applicants, Romanian citizens of Roma ethnicity, sought a stay of their scheduled removal to Romania.
They argued their withdrawal of asylum claims at the airport was involuntary and obtained without counsel.
The Federal Court dismissed the motion for a stay, finding that while the applicants raised a serious issue, they failed to establish irreparable harm given their lack of supporting evidence in their PRRA applications and prior declaration of safety.
The balance of convenience favoured the respondent's duty to enforce immigration laws, particularly considering the applicants' criminal records and apparent attempts to evade Romanian authorities.
