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.
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.
