Petition Text
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
• U.S. immigration enforcement agencies, including ICE and HSI, maintain operational presences within U.S. consulates and diplomatic facilities in Canada;
• Peaceful protest on Canadian soil has reportedly been restricted at the request of U.S. consular officials, raising concerns about Canadian sovereignty and freedom of expression;
• Allegations of enforcement actions involving Canadian citizens in or near Canadian territory underscore the need to protect Canadian jurisdiction and individual rights;
• Proposed U.S. legislation, including H.R. 5518, would authorize cross-border law-enforcement agreements and “hot pursuit,” potentially enabling foreign enforcement activities that conflict with Canadian law, civil liberties, and democratic norms; and
• Canadian companies provide goods or services to ICE and related U.S. enforcement agencies, including through federal procurement contracts.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to:
1. Formally call on the United States to cease and remove all ICE and HSI operational activities conducted from or within U.S. consulates or other diplomatic facilities in Canada;
2. Affirm that Canada will not negotiate, enter into, or implement any agreement—formal or informal—allowing foreign law-enforcement agencies to conduct enforcement activities on Canadian soil or waters, including if H.R. 5518 or similar authority is enacted;
3. Renounce federal service contracts with GardaWorld and review procurement involving companies supplying ICE or related agencies; and
4. Implement fiscal measures, including taxation, targeting Canadian companies that do business with ICE or related U.S. enforcement agencies.
