Montreal Protesters Target US Consulate Over ICE Deaths
Should Canada cut ties with ICE over human rights abuses or create its own enforcement agency to control immigration?

The Spin
Left narrative
ICE operates as a white supremacist apparatus that terrorizes immigrant communities with bipartisan support, while Canadian companies profit from this violence by providing equipment and services to agencies known for systemic abuses. Canadian corporations must be forced to sever ties with ICE and CBP, as these relationships make Canada complicit in human rights violations.
Right narrative
Canada desperately needs its own immigration enforcement agency to address the crisis of 5 million expiring visas and restore normalcy to the country. The nation has been flooded with unvetted criminals, and without aggressive enforcement measures similar to ICE, Canada cannot solve its immigration problems or protect its citizens from this influx.
