Horrific Treatment Of Political Prisoner Bill Whatcott in U.S. Detention
October 13, 2026. I talked to Canadian political prisoner Bill Whatcott today, convicted under Canada’s notorious hate law, September 16, for the expression of his Christian on homosexuality back in 2016. The LGBTQ lobby and the highly politicizes Ontario justice system, put him through a second trial after he was acquitted the first time.On September 16, Mr. Whatcott crossed into the U.S.. The next day his lawyer began his claim for asylum on the basis of persecution for his Christian faith. He sent a friend to Alberta to collect some of his belongings and medication. The friend was not allowed to bring Bill’s good across the border. Bill was asked to come and collect them himself. It was a trap. Bill came for his property, on October 2, and was arrested for illegally entering the U.S. He was told he should have made his claim immediately at the border. He was kept for a week in a hell hole in Sungrass. Montana (just opposite Coutts, Alberta), Fir seven days, he was denied a shower of toothbrush. He slept on a mat on the concrete floor and was fed army rations of 1000-1500 calories a day. The authorities were trying to break his spirit, saying, he’d be released and could drive his vehicle across the border to Canada (and certain arrest) and be banned from the United States. They didn’t want him to make his refugee claim.
In the meantime, the vindictive Canadian government, which cannot protect Canadians from hordes of invading criminals, was swift to make a request for his extradition to face sentencing, December 3, for the non-violent “crime” of expressing his Christian beliefs. On October 9, he was transferred to ICE detention centre in Tacoma, Washington. Conditions are somewhat better. Bill may face months or even years as his claim works its way through the system. His first hearing will be in Tacoma in late October.Bill would welcome your letters or cards. They must be addressed exactly as this, including his prisoner number.– Paul Fromm
