USA actor Randy Quaid has been detained by the Canadian border agency and claims he is being threatened with deportation because of a property dispute in California. His wife Evi Quaid, who was granted a Canadian citizenship in 2012, said that the arrest was unexpected and the reason for her husband’s detention remains unclear. The actor had shown up at the agency for a regular check-in that was part of a release deal struck after a May arrest for missing an Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) interview.

Quaid’s lawyer, Mark Gruszczynski, refused to give a comment regarding Quaid’s circumstance or any information surrounding the arrest.
After arriving in Canada in 2010, the Quaids lived in Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa before moving to Montreal.
