Jasmine Mooney, a Canadian entrepreneur and actress, was detained for almost two weeks by US border authorities in unsatisfactory conditions due to an incomplete visa application. Mooney, whose work visa was revoked while traveling from Canada to the US, faced mistreatment and confusion from guards about her presence in the US. Her mother criticized the US Customs and Border Protection for not advising Mooney to fix her visa application instead of detaining her. Mooney described her conditions as appalling, highlighting the lack of basic necessities in the detention facility.
Her mother, Alexis Eagles, states, 'Instead of sending her daughter to Canada or advising her to fix her application, US Customs and Border Protection officers arrested her.'
Mooney described her experience: 'Every single guard that sees me is like, What are you doing here? I don't understand. You're Canadian. How are you here?'
Mooney expressed, 'I was appalled by the conditions inside the private detention facility. It is inhumane and unacceptable for anyone to be treated this way.'
