Summary
Canadian citizen Jasmine Mooney was detained by ICE for two weeks despite having a valid U.S. work visa. Stopped at the San Diego border, she was abruptly arrested, denied legal counsel, and held in freezing cells before being transferred to a private detention center.
She witnessed systemic inefficiencies, inhumane conditions, and detainees trapped in bureaucratic limbo.
After media attention and legal intervention, Mooney was released.
Her experience highlights the profit-driven nature of private detention centers and the broader failures of U.S. immigration enforcement under Trump’s administration.
Why would those employees ever go to Canada to work or study (to need visas). There’s nothing to swing at.
People already bitch about not being able to go to Canada because they got a DUI. This is will absolutely cause someone’s vacation plans to be fucked up. But more importantly this should be a policy of the EU and Mexico too.
