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.
Maybe instead of spending hundreds of man-hours and resources to detain someone indefinitely with no charges they could ask her to fill out the form fully instead of arresting her.
“You forgot to fill out these boxes, back of the line.” would surely be more ‘efficient’ if that were the point wouldn’t it?
