Arrest warrant issued for Freedom Convoy trucker seeking asylum in U.S.: Lawyer speaks out (youtube.com)
James Bauder. He's not in Canada, having to seek political asylum in the US from Canadian government persecution.
The Democracy Fund is paying for his legal defense. TheLastTrucker.com to donate.
Bauder can't come to Canada for the trial because that would end his application (takes 6 to 18 months) for asylum in the US, so his defense asked the judge Philips to put off the trial until after the asylum application is processed and pick it up then, but Philips denied this and issued a warrant for Bauder.
