Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow is asking city council to oppose any role for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Toronto during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, arguing the agency’s presence could “create fear” among visitors.
A motion, seconded by Coun. Paul Ainslie, will go before council next week and calls on the city to reject ICE involvement, direct staff to avoid supporting the agency, and urge both federal and provincial officials to oppose any deployment in Toronto.
