CBSA says efforts to \u2018disrupt extortion networks\u2019 led to 70 removal orders<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

[The Canadian Press story carefully covers up the reality that these extortion rings terrorizing the Sikh strongholds of Surrey, BC and Brampton, Ontario are overwhelmingly Sikh and Indian criminal organizations. Their presence in Canada is another indictment of our failed immigration system. It’s another example of managed news to distract us from the destructiveness of immigration policies.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canada Border Services Agency says it has opened 372 immigration<\/a> investigations in an effort to \u201cdisrupt extortion<\/a> networks\u201d across the country.\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It says the CBSA<\/a> began formally monitoring immigration enforcement cases potentially linked to extortion in the Pacific and Prairie regions last August before expanding the work to the Greater Toronto Area in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency says that as of last Thursday, it had issued a total of 70 removal orders on various inadmissibility grounds, and 35 have been enforced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the communities most impacted by extortion is Surrey, B.C., where there were 133 reported cases of extortions in 2025 and police are looking into 64 cases so far this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CBSA says it is investigating people alleged to be engaged in extortion, operating a tip line where it encourages people to share information or directly report the \u201cwhereabouts of those who are inadmissible to Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A followup email from the agency says as of March 12, 34 removal orders were issued in Pacific region, which includes B.C. and the Yukon, and 25 people have already been removed  Sign up for breaking BC newsletter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It says the Pacific region\u2019s first extortion-related immigration investigation began on August 26, 2025, ahead of the September announcement of B.C.\u2019s Extortion Task Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Federal Conservative shadow minister for immigration Michelle Rempel Garner said in a statement that there were more than 13,000 reported incidents of extortion in Canada in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile not all extortion incidents involve individuals who should be deported, the fact that CBSA has still only managed to enforce 35 removal orders does not denote progress,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
