ICE agents to support investigations during World Cup in Canada (www.newschannel5.com)

According to the CBC, ICE agents will not be permitted to carry weapons or make arrests. Instead, they will work with Canadian authorities on joint investigations involving narcotics, weapons smuggling and human trafficking.

The agents will be from the agency’s Homeland Security Investigations branch. HSI has offices in five Canadian cities where the U.S. maintains consulates, including two World Cup host cities: Vancouver and Toronto.

Toronto City Council voted in late March to express opposition to ICE’s presence and instructed city staff to avoid supporting ICE actions within Toronto, particularly during the World Cup.

I think the most important part of the article is:

Hunt added that there will not be a “deployment” of additional ICE agents to Canada during the World Cup.

So this is probably just clickbait about ICE in Canada. They're at the airports making it easier for people to get cleared for US travel. If there isn't an additional deployment, then I don't think they'll be doing anything different than they are right now.

Ya, Canada and US already work closely together on stuff like this. I doubt this is anything new.

Fuck ICE, though.
