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.
Ah I see, that’s frankly an alien concept to me. Risks like that don’t really factor in for various reasons, I have legit wandered into VERY ghetto areas with zero care because I saw a sandwich place and was hungry. But hey you do you friend, even if your care for safety may as well be akin to a strange cultural custom to me
