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.
That and threatening to eliminate our country altogether. We’re not really feeling the “allies” thing these days. I fairly often visit the USA, but I’m rethinking that now, along with many other Canadians. And I’m taking my money out of the USA too, wherever possible.
If I was a foreigner, I would not visit the US at all right now.
I am a foreigner and I won’t anymore. Used to go to Florida during autumn vacation. Now we’ll just go to Italy or Spain. No Jetlag and the Flights are cheaper as well
As a Californian why even go to Florida to begin with, seriously there are infinitely better places in Mexico alone not even factoring in the Caribbean or Central America.
I wouldn’t visit them after, it’s obvious most Americans are okay and happy to sit down and accept this.
Most Americans don’t KNOW about this shit. Most of us get their news from Fox and they’re not saying anything negative about the administration. Except for sometimes having a token liberal on a talk show get shouted down by the five hosts.
Many of us would rather fight for Canada than against. Don’t fret the threats. Likely a lot of people, even some who voted for tRump, would be done defending this administration and maybe we’d see that well armed militia we keep hearing about!
