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.
The proposed sale has sparked opposition on both sides of the border as the federal agency faces intensifying scrutiny for its aggressive enforcement tactics and what critics describe as a growing culture of impunity. Canadians are organizing boycotts of businesses tied to billionaire-philanthropist Jim Pattison, while residents in Virginia are planning demonstrations.
