TL/DR: Canadian citizen and LAWFUL permanent resident of the U.S.A since 1991, had a drug conviction in 2023 and served his time (12 months). Regardless, ICE decided in May to kidnap him and hold him in custody where he then mysteriously died.
Canadian Government is going to have a field day with this one. There’s no reason a Canadian citizen should have been held that long without being able to see a judge and get sent back to Canada.
Hell, I’ve heard of the Canadian government HELPING remove citizens who are being deported so there aren’t issues.
This is a shit show, but I’m not surprised. I wonder how many people die in ICE custody but they don’t report it because they’re citizens of countries who don’t care or won’t find out.
Convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to 12 months in 2023. Then detained and slated for deportation for the same charge. Isn’t that double jeapordy? Guy already served his time.
I can’t imagine the despair this man must have felt. My condolences to his family.
Bro ICE released this yesterday why hasn’t this been covered ANYWHERE????
Yep, that is not going to go over well.
This is yet another horrific instance of harming our own citizens and simultaneously wounding our own friends and allies.
The article doesn’t address it, but I’d be curious to know if they were intending to at least send him to Canada or if he was slated for one of their favorite new overseas human trafficking destinations (e.g. Sudan, please google if you are unaware of this ).
That’s….not…great.
12 months and also capital punishment. In America you don’t get the death penalty for drugs. I don’t care if you run a multi million dollar crack distribution campaign. That’s not worthy of death.
Canada needs to make a lot of fucking noise about this.
We gonna stop this shit or what?
Very sad, unnecessary, and an international relations nightmare.
killing innocent Canadians is what the GOP wants to do. no one knows why.
Yeah, tell me again how Canadians should still visit America and spend our money in your fascist shithole of a country. Fuck that.
Seriously fuck every single person who is going along with this. Every one of you is a poor excuse of a human being! The ones that feign christianity are the worst!
Meanwhile, border states are pleading for Canadian tourist dollars, including Maine’s Governor doing a dog and pony show in bordering New Brunswick. They wonder why Canadians are cancelling trips without a hint of introspection.
Canada needs to issue a travel advisory.
This shit is just out of control. Certainly this admin enabled them to do all of this stuff, but they seem rogue now.
Even turning off your emotions and using only data, nothing about this is needed. It costs more, we had plenty of deportations before, it shakes faith in any form of law enforcement, it furthers the big brother belief in government, and it’s just cruel.
I’ve felt it’s the inevitable direction this party always wanted. It’s why they don’t care when deportation numbers are up under Democratic presidents. They want people so fucking scared that they won’t even try to come here in the first place, apparently regardless of origin or purpose.
People complain about having to take your shoes off at the airport, but can’t even imagine how much shit this is going to lead to for the rest of our lives. They’re just chipping away at laws and freedom.
And I’m supposed to turn around and say oh conservatives are the ones who want small government? Give me a break. They don’t care about justice or law. They just care about punishment.
And I know this is gonna be yet another one where we told about all about the person’s pre-existing conditions at the expense of all logic.
Does Canada have to do an Argo to save Canadians from America now?
Hey Canadian government, please make a completely righteous spectacle about this. Something our ridiculous news networks can’t ignore.
This is probably just one of the few that leaked out to the media.
Canada is going to be *pissed*…as they should be.
The Governor of Maine was in Canada the last couple of days begging Canadians to visit Maine so small businesses could stay afloat. Americans, stop asking us to come down. I hope the Canadian government makes a big stink over this. The US has become so disgusting I want nothing to do with it. Ever.
Declare war on us, please
“dies in ICE custody” is a real soft way to say “murdered by ICE”…like people just drop dead for no reason, come on
Not seeing how someone who left Canada in 91 and being a lawful citizen of the US for nearly as long makes this a Canadian issue. This person is for all intents and purposes American. It further emphasizes why I’d not step foot in the US taking a chance on subjecting myself to ICE.
This is just the first. Many in detention are being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment and are being denied medical care and being fed rotten food just for being in this country looking for betterment
Imagine what will happen in that Everglades concentration camp they’re building
USA is a dangerous country, stay away.
And they had the fucking stomach to label him an illegal alien after his death in their statement. Fuck these evil mother fuckers.
There needs to be more coverage of the companies/cronies profiting from these facilities. Trump’s friend Erik Prince started a company dedicated to the deportation business and presented a $25 billion proposal to handle the endeavor before Trump was sworn in to office. He suggests part of CECOT be declared US territory while still supervised by Bukele & Co. to ease certain gauntlets (that would also facilitate citizens being sent to that hellhole).According to El Salvador Now, Trump endorsing Bukele has greenlit other countries to broker similar partnerships and emboldened Bukele to imprison opponents on uh, trumped up charges — including the human rights lawyer who liaised for the men Trump sent to El Salvador. CECOT is his PR facility while his two other prisons have one inmate death every four days. These aren’t nursing homes. Some might be deaths from natural causes but likely the majority are due to torture, starvation and medical negligence.

Erik Prince has never stopped waging war, only the battlefields have shifted. The founder of **Blackwater**, infamous for the **2007 Nisour Square massacre** that killed 17 Iraqi civilians, built a $1 billion empire outsourcing violence, from Fallujah to Central America, per federal contract records. Once ousted from Pentagon circles after Blackwater’s scandals, Prince has reinvented himself as a security visionary for the global right, peddling solutions to border chaos. In 2025, under Donald Trump’s second administration, he’s the architect of a contractor-driven deportation regime, reshaping immigration enforcement.
Through **2USV LLC**, Prince targets thousands for **El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison**, a 10,000-bed facility proposed as “U.S. territory” to evade oversight, per Politico. Enabled by biometric surveillance, like ICE’s $150 million systems, Trump’s deportation policies risk errors like Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s 2025 deportation to CECOT. Trump’s vow to deport “homegrown criminals” abroad and invoke the Alien Enemies Act fuels fears of overreach. Prince’s security deals in Haiti and Ecuador, deploying mercenaries against gangs and cartels, extend his contractor-driven model, mirroring a 2025 proposal to **privatize U.S. deportations**.
If we ever recover from this I look forward to the decades of tracking down and sentencing ICE members for “just following orders” and all the spinoff shows with bounty hunters going after these bastards.
Fortunately I probably won’t be alive when society forgets this shit and repeats it yet again in 100 years.

Great time for Canada to annex washington state.
