Summary
Jasmine Mooney, a 35-year-old Canadian woman, has been detained in U.S. immigration facilities since March 3 after attempting to enter with an incomplete Trade NAFTA work visa application.
She was initially held at San Ysidro border crossing before being transferred in chains to detention centers in San Diego and Arizona.
Her mother, Alexis Eagles, reports inhumane conditions including overcrowded concrete cells with constant lighting and inadequate facilities.
Business partner BJ McCaslin called the situation a “nightmare” while Global Affairs Canada confirmed they’re aware but unable to intervene in U.S. immigration matters.
I was planning on travelling to California to meet a good friend of mine. I explained that I’ve had to change plans amist…well, all this, and my friend said something along the lines of “I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t even consider visiting this country for the next 4 years”.
I know that feel, but I would have never thought I would understand feeling like so towards the US until the current regime. Last time I felt it, the country in question was Iran lol
Honestly, same. It’s still really surreal to me.
