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.

      no amount of conformity will ever make you safe under fascism. the noose will always tighten to meet the fascists’ needs for torture. once the old enemy is eliminated a new hegemony will be homogenized and the torture will continue either at the same pace or accelerated.

      it’s not really about skin tone, accent, visa access, sexual identity, gender identity, or even political stance. it’s about that the fascists must other, and they will other you any way that thy can.

      Yep, just like how conservatives wanted to ignore aids since they thought it would only kill gays and drug users. They fail to see how their cruelty will come back around on themselves.

        They’re 100% going to go after PREP, PEP, doxy, etc. There is already a hidden epidemic of antibiotic resistant syphillis and gonorrhea.

        This will also be a leopard eating faces thing, considering the sheer quantity of “straight” conservative men that enjoy “the apps”…

        Or when Jared didn’t want to respond to COVID because it was mainly hitting blue cities.

      White-Canadians now have the rare experience to feel what it is like to be brown in America.
