ICE says its agents don't carry guns in Canada as World Cup approaches
"ICE personnel do not carry guns while operating in Canada, and they do not conduct operational activities such as executing search warrants or making arrests."
"The presence of US agents in Canada has led to fears of their deployment at World Cup venues, prompting Toronto's city council to pass a motion opposing such a move."
"ICE operates out of five offices in Canada, including in World Cup host cities Toronto and Vancouver, which will host 13 fixtures between them."
"ICE has no authority or jurisdiction on Canadian soil, as confirmed by a spokesperson for federal Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree."
ICE agents do not carry firearms or make arrests in Canada, as confirmed by the agency. They collaborate with Canadian authorities on investigations related to narcotics, weapons, and human trafficking. Concerns arose regarding their potential deployment at World Cup venues, prompting Toronto's city council to oppose this. Despite having offices in Canadian cities, ICE lacks jurisdiction on Canadian soil, and federal law limits their authority to the US. Protests against ICE's presence occurred in Milan prior to the Winter Games.
