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.

    Oh please. Out of all the people the US had harmed, the current Iranian regime has caused the vast majority of its own problems. China and even Russia you can find a arguably sympathetic angle for if you’re motivated enough. The Iranian regime is simply inhuman and lost.

      You should read some history, mate. Learn what the CIA did to enrage the Iranians so much…

          Hey, Your gotcha kind of missed as nobody is praising Iranian regime here. When we say “axis of evil” is propaganda, that doesn’t mean we are dismissing the atrocities of current regimes anywhere. We are simply saying at some point in history the U.S did meddle and that probably set the course for what we see in Iran today.

          Propaganda has truth mixed in with exaggerations.
