CP NewsAlert: Pattison firm says it did not know warehouse was to become ICE facility

By Canadian Press on January 28, 2026.

The property arm of Vancouver-based Jim Pattison Group says it did not know that a Virginia warehouse it owns was intended as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding facility at the time it agreed to sell the property.

Jim Pattison Developments says in a statement that it accepted an offer from “a U.S. government contractor” to buy the site but only became aware of the “ultimate owner” and intended use some time later.

More coming.
