""U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has demonstrated through their actions in Minnesota and across the U.S. that they bring fear and disorder, not safety and security," Chow says in the motion that will go to council."
""Any presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Toronto is liable to create fear during a time when we want to welcome the world and ensure that everyone feels safe.""
""City Council should be clear that we are committed to upholding and defending our constitutional rights by making a clear statement; No ICE in Toronto," Chow says."
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow will propose a motion to city council opposing any involvement of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the FIFA World Cup. Chow argues that ICE's presence would create fear rather than safety. The motion requests that federal ministers reject any ICE deployment and emphasizes the city's commitment to constitutional rights. Vancouver city council previously considered a similar motion. Toronto will host six World Cup games at BMO Field, while Vancouver will host seven games at B.C. Place stadium. ICE has offices in multiple Canadian cities, including Toronto.
