§3273 Offenses Committed by Certain United States Personnel Stationed in Canada in Furtherance of Border Security Initiatives

Summary

If you work for the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Justice and are sent to Canada under a treaty, agreement, or joint plan for border security, then doing, trying, or planning to do something in Canada that would be a U.S. federal crime (if done in the United States or other places where U.S. law applies) can get you fined, jailed, or both, just like the U.S. penalty for that crime. "Employed by" means you are a civilian worker, a contractor or subcontractor (or their employee), you are in Canada because of that job, and you are not a Canadian citizen or usual resident.
