Sale of Canadian armoured vehicles to ICE agency ‘deeply troubling’: Kwan
The $10 million sole-source contract for 20 Roshel armoured vehicles to ICE raises concerns about human rights risks and legal loopholes in Canadian export controls.
- Dec. 3, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently placed a sole‑source rush order for 20 Roshel armoured vehicles from Brampton, Ont.
- Critics say the sale raises human‑rights concerns because anti‑armament advocates and Members of Parliament raising concerns argue Canadian firms should not supply U.S. agencies with questionable records, citing loopholes in Canadian law and Arms Trade Treaty obligations.
- Earlier this week, procurement records show Roshel and ICE have not responded to requests for comment, and ICE documents say other firms could not meet the 30 days delivery requirement.
- NDP MP Jenny Kwan said Wednesday she is troubled and proposes private member's bill C-233, while Ontario Premier Doug Ford endorsed the sale and Anita Anand said the government was not contacted.
- Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have linked ICE to serious human-rights violations, while Canadian national Johnny Noviello died in custody at a Miami detention centre earlier this year.
