Approximately 55 Canadians have been detained by ICE, minister says

Wonder what Trump would do if the world started detaining Americans for no reason?

Approximately 55 Canadians have been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand told CTV News Friday.

“Our work is to ensure that they’re being treated fairly, and that’s the advocacy that consular officials from Global Affairs Canada do every day, not only in the United States, but around the world,” said Anand.

He also had convictions in the US for drug trafficking and other offenses. That, of course, puts him in line for deportation (if other criteria are met) but not for death in the "care" of ICE (the government) at age 49.

Each time a citizen of their country is detained they should do so to an American.
