Canada Arrests Fugitive Rioter As Illegal Immigrant
CBC News reports:
A man convicted and sentenced to nine months in jail for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was arrested in Whistler, B.C., four years to the day after the riot. Rather than reporting to jail in the U.S., Antony Vo headed north to seek asylum in Canada.
On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said Vo was arrested in Whistler on Jan. 6 on a warrant under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). The agency assesses whether people coming to Canada are legally admissible and investigates those already here who may not be. It can arrest and detain inadmissible individuals under the act.
The CBSA says it has no record of Vo entering Canada at any
