British political activist Tommy Robinson was arrested by a pair of plainclothes police officers and several uniformed cops on Monday, just after he spoke to a huge crowd in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Footage shows Robinson being handcuffed and placed into a squad car for an “outstanding immigration warrant.”
Robinson filmed while inside the police car and learned his arrest warrant was signed by the head of the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), the equivalent to America’s Department of Homeland Security.
As he talked with the police officers, Tommy went on an epic rant about how “mad” Canadian politicians have become that they let millions of people into their country from all over the world but pick on him for giving a speech at a seminar.
“How many people do you get coming through your border every day that don’t even have a passport? They haven’t even got passports, they just turn up and then you give them a house. I’m not here asking for a house,” he told the officers.

Eventually, Robinson was released with extremely unfair conditions that will interfere with the rest of his planned speaking tour.
The UK activist explained he isn’t allowed to leave Calgary, or Canada at all, and has to turn in his passport to authorities.
Additionally, Robinson has to report to the federal government three times a week and notify them of where he’s staying.
The man is now STUCK in Trudeau’s anti-free speech dystopia and cannot go home to see his family until the tyrannical government “allows” him.
TOMMY ROBINSON HAS BEEN RELEASED! But he must turn in his passport, remain in southern Alberta, and he cannot leave Canada!
Tomorrow we work on fixing that.

Robinson wrote on X, “Ok I’m FREE , we’ll sort of, None of this makes sense, I’m now detained in Calgary, prevented from leaving the city, these conditions stop me from continuing my tour of Canada & meeting with guests for podcasts. I’m not even allowed to leave to travel home.”
