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.

    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.

    Oh fuck that, what else does Global Affairs do if not at the very least advocate for Canadians imprisoned in a hostile foreign nation? She was stopped and jailed for not having a complete work visa, that is not an immigration matter its a refusal of entry issue. Like whats the crime here? And not deporting someone due to them not being allowed in the US (but then holding them in the US) should be an act of war.
