In this case it was a break and enter, a crime that is punishable by 10 years or more. Although he was a refugee, it was extremely unlikely he could be deported because he didn't seem to be a danger to the public and, in fact, had mental health problems. CBSA chose to take deportation proceedings against him simply to get the deportation order on the file. This actually sent him over the edge and led to a fatal altercation with the police. We do think it's an example of where overzealousness can lead to a very adverse consequence for somebody.
