Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has announced a controversial immigration policy calling for the deportation of non-citizens who commit crimes in Canada.

Following his recent by-election victory in Battle River-Crowfoot, Poilievre announced the proposal during his first press conference on August 20, 2025.

The plan, which builds on his campaign promise to cap immigration at 250,000 annually, seeks to expedite deportation processes and increase CBSA funding.

While supporters praise the measure as necessary for public safety, critics warn it could unfairly target immigrant communities and violate due process rights.
