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.

    Trump is saying stuff

    Is that all you think is happening? Christ, you are hopeless.

    I don’t think that it feels real enough to most folks to chance getting thrown in a private prison or turned into a predator drone video.

    It never does feel real, until it gets real. Plenty has been written and said on that subject, Americans continue to ignore that though for short term comforts and certainties.

    When things destabilize, that’s where there will be opportunities, but the only opportunities right now is getting smoked by the cops, getting scooped by the glowies, or doing something completely ineffectual and getting your teeth knocked in by the cops anyway.

    What is the article this comment thread is on? It’s already real, already happening, and here you are arguing that it’s not.
