New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt on Wednesday criticized the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the U.S. that has now spread to neighbouring Maine, saying it’s making people in her province “very, very uncomfortable” to have them at the border.

Holt told reporters in Ottawa that the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at the New Brunswick-Maine border was affecting people with cross-border family and business ties that have already been struggling under strained relations due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and attacks on Canada.

“We see what’s happening in the country,” she told reporters. “We see it in New Brunswick right now with ICE agents on the border of New Brunswick and Maine, in Calais. And it makes us all very, very uncomfortable.

“There’s nothing that we recognize in our neighbours right now, with the leadership that they have. We’re eager to support them in a return to the long-standing and strong partnership that Canada and the U.S. have had for generations.”

ICE isn't welcome in Canada or anywhere near our country

[–] RainbowHedgehog@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

They shouldn’t be welcome on this Earth.

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They should have the police on standby to arrest any agent crossing the border

[–] BingBong@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 months ago

Bring the fucking military instead. With how these guys are cosplaying military you'll need it.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Canadian army should run a bunch of exercises right on the border, just so they don’t get any stupid fucking ideas. I would absolutely not put it beyond ICEatzgruppen to spontaneously try to invade Canada. So, you know, elbows up.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 points 2 months ago

Even the greenist unit of the Canadian Army is vastly more experienced and trained than any ICE unit. It would literally be like if actual soldiers went up against a bunch of disorganized armed thugs.

Hey, but the liberal news and some lemmy users are telling me that Trump is retreating, and that the fight against him is winning…. Don’t tell me that’s all a lie and every day we get closer to fascism?!?!

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

The copium on lemmy rivals reddit

[–] RainbowHedgehog@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We do have a lot of successes. But whenever we do, he does something stupid again.

DOGE got dismantled, Kilmar Abrego Garcia returned from El Salvador, Alligator Alcatraz got closed down.

[–] whereIsTamara@lemmy.org 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Alligator Alcatraz is alive and well I hate to tell you.

Those are some pretty weak successes for all the losses we have had.

[–] edible_funk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Also like 4k people have gone missing from there.

[–] RainbowHedgehog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It appears that was a bad example. I didn’t realize it reopened and is the midst of a legal battle.

Regardless I have hope. I truly thought Kilmar Abrego Garcia was gone forever. So many people thought it was over when Trump nationalized the National Guard in California. Minnesota’s resistance has also served as a beacon of hope.

I truly believe we will win. And when the dust settles we will create a new America, a better America.

[–] whereIsTamara@lemmy.org 1 points 2 months ago

You won’t be alive when the dust settles. It’s gonna be a long long time.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Was doge dismantled or did it serve its purpose?

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Also KAG is still being prosecuted and attempting to get deported to Costa Rica, and Florida received $608 million from FEMA for Alligator Alcatraz

[–] IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not over till America 2: The Unfuckening.

[–] whereIsTamara@lemmy.org 4 points 2 months ago

I won’t live 100 more years for that. :(

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

I’m imagining a Canadian Bacon reboot here.

Well, we know that nobody beats Canadians at ICE dancing.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

STUPID Libtards in Canada! You think ICE even KNOWS what a CANADA is?

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Waiting for the day when the morons cross the border by mistake (somehow) and try to "deport" Canadians

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

One of them tried to create an international incident at the Ecuadorian embassy.

[–] SkavarSharraddas@gehirneimer.de 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe that was an accident and they're just dumb.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago
[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 2 months ago

They "mistakenly" put up signs on Mexican beaches too.

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

Canada!? Oh, you mean cold Mexico. 

[–] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

ICE logic: Canada is the 51st state and we have to clear all these non Americans out of here - they are all domestic terrorists and deserve to be deported... somewhere.

This is a joke, but i wouldn't be surprised if that changes soon, which is depressing.

[–] RabbitBBQ@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Canada isn't sending their best
