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.

    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.
