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.

    How did you pay for your gas on the road? How did you keep yourself fed? How did you keep from freezing to death? What were you protesting? How did it turn out? Tell us more.

      Considering the warm reception of this thread, I don’t feel anyone here is worth wasting that time on. I’m writing a book about my adventures you can pirate it when it comes out.

                    My point is stop saying people aren’t doing it when they are. Everywhere. Every single day.

                    Do you think Trump is trying to declare attacks on Tesla dealerships domestic terrorism because people are staying home on the couch?

                    You’re acting like because we haven’t seen instantaneous results, we must just all be doing nothing. If you have spent as much time protesting as you claim, you know that protest movements need to be long and sustained and also often need to gain momentum over time. You won’t get a million people in the streets overnight.

                You go out and protest, champ. Instead of spending every hour of the last two months on lemmy telling Americans what to do.
                Don’t you have anything else to do?

                No one buys your fake af story of spending years in a car mooching of people “in protest”. Especially if all you do now is troll US posts.

                Grow up. Be better.
