B.C.'s attorney general urges Canadian businesses to 'think about their role' in supporting ICE operations
Several companies are facing pressure to back out of deals with ICE amid backlash
B.C. deputy premier and attorney general Niki Sharma speaking at an event in Vancouver announcing approval of the Eskay Creek gold-silver mine in northwest B.C. on Jan. 27, 2026. At the event, Sharma was asked about her thoughts on the potential sale of a Jim Pattison-owned building in Virginia to be used as an ICE facility.
B.C.'s attorney general says Canadian companies should "think about their role" when considering whether to do business with United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Niki Sharma, who also acts as the deputy premier, was asked at unrelated news conference Tuesday morning about the backlash facing B.C. billionaire Jim Pattison, over the potential sale of a Virginia warehouse to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for use as an ICE processing facility.
Pattison, whose conglomerate the Jim Pattison Group spans various sectors including real estate, automotive, media and groceries, is being urged by some to not move forward with the deal, citing the actions of ICE officers in the United States, including the killing of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota.
