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.
In a statement, Global Affairs Canada said consular officials are in contact with local authorities to gather additional information and provide consular assistance.
“Every country or territory decides who can enter or exit through its borders. The Government of Canada cannot intervene on behalf of Canadian citizens with regard to the entry and exit requirements of another country,” the statement read.
Whilst smiling very slightly manically, and quietly whispering with the eyes ”I’m going to fucking murder you, and I’m going to take my time about it”
This is a Type 2 “Sorry” scenario
How to make anyone scared to ever visit your country again…
B.C. woman held in detention for 11 days after trying to enter U.S. to be released, father says
Grateful to the family using their privledge and platform to talk about the conditions at the San Ysidro border crossing, the San Diego cells, and in San Luis Regional Detention Center. Keeping the lights on all the time is torture.
“There’s 30 other people in her cell that have not even been spoken to by a detention caseworker. So there are people in there whose families don’t know where their kids are.” - Jasmine’s father, Stephen Mooney.

[B.C. Premier David Eby] also said he was “profoundly concerned about these kind of actions” by the U.S. administration, saying they “violate the very idea that Canadians are safe in the U.S. when we visit.”
“The nature of our relationship is so fraught right now that this case makes us all wonder, you know, what about our relatives who are working in the States? What about when we cross the border, what kind of experience are we gonna have?” Eby said.
Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai also weighed in on Thursday, with a letter to the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement urging Jasmine’s “prompt release,” and saying “the treatment of our citizens while in the U.S. must be fair and transparent.”
Idk why you’d ever want to go to america, but now the time is even worse
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
That’s what the family are thinking about now that she’s being (hopefully) released. She apparently spent thousands building up some kind of business down there and now that’s up in the air.

“Of course, we’ve got to question that now — do you really want to work in the States after this has happened to you?” [Mooney’s dad, Stephen] said.
“That process down there is terrible, and I believe it’s worse because of the new administration, because of Trump … I would be cautious for anyone to go into the States.”
I have family down there that I may never get to see again, and I’m still not going. Fuck that, I’d rather die homeless and alone in Canada than go back into enemy territory. Sorry mom, I’ll visit your grave someday… possibly. Or you can visit mine, whichever comes first. Either way, it’s all good.
If this is how they treat a white Canadian businesswoman, imagine what they’re doing to non-white migrants. System’s rotten to the core.

theres a channel 5 segment on it, the dude decided to cross from mexico with “coyotes” back into the US, as an american, and they got caught. spent several days in shite conditions, and talks about whole process. its pretty interesting.
Channel five is fucking wild. I love it.
Bald and bankrupt did a video that is much more in depth on the trail the illegal immigrants use. Anybody who’s willing to go through that hell to get to the States isn’t someone in worried about paying welfare for, those people got fucking gumption.
It’s depressing how much better Americans the illegals often are compared to the native trash we have in the south.
They should be terrified of great replacement, that’s like upgrading from a burning pinto to a Bugatti.
