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.



Fucking shameful. This is how we treat our allies? I am ashamed to be an American.
The US has allies??
Even its Canadian girl friend left it
We never had allies, we barely knew those countries, they might have gotten coffee for us at some point?
/s
Canada isn’t an ally anymore
Since there is a certain psycho suggesting all Americans go to war for their personal protection I will take the opportunity to ride the top comment with this attempt at organizing a general strike in the US.
Putin’s bidding to fracture the deepest alliances of the West under utterly bullshit pretenses.
That and threatening to eliminate our country altogether. We’re not really feeling the “allies” thing these days. I fairly often visit the USA, but I’m rethinking that now, along with many other Canadians. And I’m taking my money out of the USA too, wherever possible.
