Alberta MP calls on Canada to shut down U.S. immigration and customs operations north of border

As U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continues to draw widespread criticism for its deportation crackdown in the States, there’s concern brewing about the agency's presence north of the border.

The U.S. government’s website lists ICE offices in five Canadian cities: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Ottawa.

In an emailed statement to CBC News, an ICE spokesperson confirmed its criminal investigative law enforcement component — Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) — conducts work at the U.S. embassy in the country’s capital, and at consulates in the other four cities.

HSI personnel are separate from the ICE arm at the forefront of the immigration crackdowns making headlines in cities like Minneapolis, known as Enforcement and Removal Operations.

According to the government website, HSI has over 93 offices in more than 50 countries, with a mandate to identify and stop crime “before it reaches the United States.”

China has cops here, the US has cops here, what other countries have police forces operating in Canada? Is this normal for a nation? When the fuck did this happen and why?

Judging by what happen in Vancouver : probably India too

It's been happening in other cities as well. Calgary had an instance I believe.

I don't understand why we are stuck with ICE in Canada after what they did south of the border. Are we protecting fascists now?!

[-] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 day ago

It can get the fuck out, for one.

ICE must be destroyed, and that includes those kidnappers they have stationed in other countries. Swear, Canada might have exported the Proud Boys but ICE is a nazi kidnapper murder gang. We can't let them just roam the world, doing evil.

Shut them down, and kick them all out.

As far as I can tell they are useless, as if they weren't why does the US have so many "illegals" and "Criminals" that supposedly come from other countries, obviously it's all just a fascist lie but like there's no logic anymore

Why the FUCK would Canada allow nazi brown shirts offices on their territory? I just don't get this shit. That Americans do this, fine, they're not the sharpest tools in the shed, but Canada, you know better

Canada has border crossing points physically in CDN airports, like Toronto. It's time to end that.

Often it's for preclearance. Go through customs in Canada and you can land at a domestic terminal in the US. Very convenient in normal times.

TBF America is defacto the evil empire of the world rn and we've only had a nice ride cuz we're their sidekick.

It CAN go fuck itself.

Just sayin

Burn them down

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

That needs to change

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 13 points 1 day ago

I assume it can murder Americans? And brown people?

[-] minorkeys@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Why were they ever allowed here?

[-] Sunshine@piefed.ca 5 points 1 day ago

To spread out after manufacturing consent for the Alberta independent movement. ICE agents videos may be coming to the oil province.

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Alberta is where the resistance is coming from. There are more offices in Ontario than Alberta.

It's an interesting take, to be sure, obviously it remains to be seen. I just would expect the deployment strategy to somehow favour AB if that was the goal.

[-] charles@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 hours ago

I mean sure but there's only an extra office in Ontario because the national capital is in Ontario. If Ottawa wasn't the capital, I bet there wouldn't be an office there.

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago

Honestly, I think it's as simple as those are just the 5 largest metro centers in Canada.

[-] L_N@piefed.ca 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I would like to know if the United States are forcing us to cooperate with ICE under threat.

[-] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 6 points 1 day ago

I'd totally lean on the fact that I was in a foreign country the whole time, to avoid going to the Hague after the regime falls.
