Northern Border Breach: The CBSA Whistleblower Warning America Can’t Ignore
Guest: Luc Sarbourin
Today on Steel News Live, Ann Vandersteel is joined by Luc Sabourin, a Canadian federal whistleblower with 27 years in national-security, intelligence, immigration, and border-enforcement roles. Sabourin alleges massive travel-document theft, destruction of evidence, deletions inside secure databases, and systemic failures that place U.S. citizens at risk through compromised Canada–U.S. border cooperation.
He testified before Canadian Parliament on Bill C-290, warning that when whistleblowers are punished, institutions stop correcting problems and start burying them.
This is a must-hear briefing for Tom Homan, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and SecDef Pete Hegseth.
CTA 1 — DHS Secretary Kristi Noem
Subject: Urgent: Northern Border Integrity Risks Raised by CBSA Whistleblower — Request for DHS Review
Email Body:
Secretary Noem,
I’m requesting an immediate DHS review based on allegations from Luc Sabourin, a 27-year Canadian federal whistleblower (CBSA/Immigration Canada; prior DND intelligence). He alleges systemic failures affecting travel document integrity, chain of custody, and secure data handling with direct spillover risk to the United States.
Request:
Open a Northern Border Integrity Review focused on stolen/blank passports, watchlist/vetting handoffs, chain of custody, and database integrity risks.
Assign CBP Intelligence and HSI to receive supporting exhibits under protected handling.
Establish a secure intake channel for Mr. Sabourin and counsel to provide identifiers, dates, locations, and corroborating documentation.
Respectfully,
[NAME]
[CITY/STATE]
CTA 2 — Tom Homan
Subject: Action Request: Northern Border Operational Vulnerabilities — Protected Briefing Needed
Email Body:
Mr. Homan,
I’m requesting a protected briefing intake and operational review based on allegations from Luc Sabourin (CBSA whistleblower). He alleges document fraud flows, compromised evidence handling, deleted reports in secure systems, and weak northern border corridors including two way high traffic areas (Roxham Road region and Vermont referenced).
Request:
Protected intake for evidence and identifiers.
Operational review of the corridors and night-closure vulnerabilities.
Targeting priorities for cross-border document fraud and trafficking facilitators.
Respectfully,
[NAME]
[CITY/STATE]
CTA 3 — SecDef Pete Hegseth
Subject: Force Protection Alert: Allied Screening & Document-Fraud Risk — Northern Border Exposure
Email Body:
Secretary Hegseth,
I’m requesting a force protection and national security assessment based on allegations by Luc Sabourin (DND intelligence; CBSA). He alleges destruction of evidence, missing stolen-passport lists, and deleted records in secure areas, failures that can increase covert movement risk and document fraud pathways affecting the U.S.
Request:
Assess U.S. exposure pathways tied to compromised allied screening/evidence handling.
Coordinate, as appropriate, with DHS/CBP/HSI on a shared-threat assessment.
Establish a secure intake for supporting exhibits if needed.
Respectfully,
[NAME]
[CITY/STATE]
