Gate.io No Longer Allowing USA and Canadian Users

So crazy early this morning I got the following email. I verified it is real. If you are in the USA or Canada I'd remove your assets asap. Sucks because they were my go to for buying metis and transferring on the andromeda network. Here is the email:
