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.

    This news website is owned by Postmedia, which is American. Sharing this info makes Canadian not want to go into the USA anymore. So I’m thinking this is possibly wanted by the current American Administration? But why would they not want Canadians to visit the USA anymore? Could this be an effort to reinforce an hostile image of Canadians? I guess it would be much easier to convince bordering States that Canada is hostile if they stopped seeing so many nice Canadians every day? I don’t know I’m just rambling here.

      You should be suspicious of American-owned media, but it’s not the case they they are running state-issued propaganda at all times.

      Rather, the media is following the interests of its owners: American oligarchs. One of their primary interests is “get more money” and any headline that draws eyeballs serves that end.

      I appreciate your rambling, but I think you might appreciate some time off of the internet.
