Vancouver mogul Jim Pattison’s company under fire for proposed sale of U.S. property to ICE
January 27, 2026
A suburban county in central Virginia is considering its legal options over a plan by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to purchase a warehouse property owned by Vancouver-based Jim Pattison Developments to use as a holding and processing centre.

Canadians are organizing boycotts of businesses tied to billionaire-philanthropist Jim Pattison, while residents in Virginia are planning demonstrations.
