Show Notes
Calgarys police chief warns of a surge in extortion targeting the South Asian community, with suspects often operating from abroad and holding temporary visas. Despite numerous arrests, cases are meticulously built to ensure convictions. Collaboration with Canada Border Services Agency is crucial in identifying and deporting suspects. Since January 2025, Calgary has seen 41 reports, including 18 shootings, with families living in fear and public safety at risk. Nationwide, the border agency has launched hundreds of investigations, resulting in 70 removal orders and 35 deportations. Calgary referred 45 suspects last month, leading to several deportations. The issue extends beyond Calgary, involving provinces, the country, and international connections, with police determined to charge and apprehend all involved to end the violence.
