Calgary construction site raid sparks debate over Canada's immigration enforcement approach

A recent immigration enforcement action at the construction site of Calgary's new arena has raised concerns that Canada is adopting aggressive tactics similar to those used by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Canada Border Services Agency, accompanied by Calgary police, required workers to present identification, resulting in four individuals being barred from returning to work for lacking proper documentation. Experts warn that involving local police in immigration enforcement could erode trust within immigrant communities, making crime investigation more difficult. With CBSA removals reaching record highs and new legislation threatening refugee rights, advocates are calling for pathways to legal status rather than increased enforcement measures.#canada_immigration, #cbsa, #calgary_construction_raid, #undocumented_workers, #refugee_rights, #border_security
