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.

    Most Americans don’t KNOW about this shit. Most of us get their news from Fox and they’re not saying anything negative about the administration. Except for sometimes having a token liberal on a talk show get shouted down by the five hosts.

      Fox broke records with 4.8M viewers out of a country of 340m.

      Most of you get your news from social media sharing.

        OK, still most of us have no idea what is going on. They see nothing but stuff supporting the administration. Cable news and social media are all arms of state media. Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

        Now, those Americans that have no desire to hear anything critical of their views… I can blame indoctrination but I can also blame the masses of this country.
