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.

    Not just Canada, there’s similar stories for a lot of nationalities, every country should be putting out warnings.

    The US has lost it’s mind.

    Couple the immigration issues with the fact that planes keep falling out of the sky in their air space due to air traffic control being gutted and even flying to Canada starts becoming dangerous too.

    I’ll be avoiding the whole of North America for the foreseeable future, it’s just not safe.

      When the courts said it was legal for a billionaire to spend 250 million to buy votes, I knew there was nothing left of our Democracy. I asked around, no one I knew had 250 million to buy votes for Kamala. Sorry guys.
