How is ICE enforcing US laws on immigration in a country where those laws and officers have no jurisdiction? This is a call to kick out a problematic enforcement agency from a country that it has no right being in. There are already collaborative agreements with the RCMP and US law enforcement, including CBP agents stationed in Canada for the purposes of border control. ICE has no reason to be here that is not already handled by CBP or Canadian law enforcement. The motivation is that we are seeing, with our own eyes, that ICE is shooting people in the streets, and being used beyond their mandate for political purposes. Operating within Canada is a privilege, and the people of Canada are calling for that privilege to be revoked. You should also read closer. The CBC is not calling for anything. They are reporting on others doing that.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Immigration_and_Customs_Enforcement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Immigration_and_..., ICE actually has two distinct roles: > ICE's two primary and distinct law enforcement components are: > Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) > Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) > HSI is focused on the disruption of transnational crime, whereas ERO is responsible for the apprehension, detention, deportation and removal of undocumented immigrants. Everybody is focusing on the "ERO" part right now, but these offices look like they're with the "HSI" part.
