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.

    You’re not begging. You’re browbeating in a really sanctimonious way. Maybe you should listen to people’s legitimate concerns and sympathize with them instead of telling them they are pieces of shit for not volunteering themselves enthusiastically to get shot for what is likely to be zero change. You’re acting like people are stupid assholes for not wanting their families to be evicted. You’re being a dick, and I am also certain you are lying about the extent of your own noble sacrifices.

      You act like going out to protest means you’re definitely going to get shot. That isn’t true, stop making excuses.

        People are protesting, my guy. Your original post scoffed at the idea that these protests could be effective. You called it “occupying a sidewalk” and were calling on us to just start blasting. Don’t move the goalposts.

          When did I say that? Please argue in good faith using reality.
