CBS News — Protests against immigration raids spring up in cities across U.S.

Protests that flared up in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement raids and prompted President Trump to mobilize National Guard troops and Marines have begun to spread to cities across the country, with more planned into the weekend. The protests in Los Angeles began Friday as Immigration and Customs Enforcement executed several raids in and around the country’s second-largest city. The raids and protests continued throughout the weekend sometimes resulting in clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement, prompting the Trump administration to mobilize thousands of National Guard troops despite California Gov. Gavin Newsom not requesting them and later asking Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to withdraw the orders.

The Gazette — ‘Complicit with a totalitarian regime’: Canada’s border rules are landing asylum seekers in ICE detention

Canadian authorities have returned more than 1,600 asylum seekers to the United States in 2025 without hearing their case for refugee protection, according to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Many have landed in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. The removals are a product of the longstanding Safe Third Country Agreement, which requires anyone seeking refugee protection in Canada or the U.S. to claim asylum in the first of the two countries they reach. This means many asylum seekers who attempt to enter Canada through the U.S. are turned back at the border.

Radio-Canada — Des travailleurs étrangers dénoncent les permis fermés et la précarité

Des travailleurs étrangers temporaires à Québec font état de la détérioration de leurs conditions de travail, de l’insécurité et du manque de soutien d’OpSens/Haemonetics, une entreprise de technologie médicale. Leurs permis de travail fermés limitent leurs possibilités. L’immigration temporaire est en croissance au Québec depuis 2023, avec une nette augmentation des permis de travail fermés [qui lient un travailleur temporaire à un seul employeur, NDLR]. Au moins 52 320 travailleurs ont obtenu ce type de permis en 2023-2024, ce qui place le Québec devant l’Ontario.
