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.
It’s starting to seem like Canada should issue a travel advisory against going to the USA.
In some ways I hope it doesn’t come to that. In others … I mean, I’d win a friendly bet if it happened, so there’s that.
Honestly yeah, if a paperwork fuck up can get you detained for more than 24 hours there’s something seriously wrong and travelling there is dangerous for the border police alone.
If I were in charge, that’s exactly what I would do. “US ICE agents are detaining Canadian citizens at the border. Until and unless US agents stop detaining Canadians at the border and return those they have detained, we are advising Canadian citizens to not travel to the USA.” Post it right next to all other Canadian travel advisories.
And do what Lithuania did at the Belarusian border: There are signs telling pretty much the analogue to what you’re suggesting. On the roadside while approaching the border. As physical signs.
If you guys do that take pictures and send them to America so we can put them in political ads.
Here’s an article that includes a picture like you asked: https://www.orla.fm/a-disturbing-message-on-the-lithuanian-border-do-not-travel-to-belarus-you-may-not-come-back/
Ooo thank you.
There already is a travel advisory in Canada. It’s more personal though.
If I tell my friend I’m going to the states they’ll stage an intervention.
“You’re desire to travel to the US hurts me in the following ways…”
Not just Canada, there’s similar stories for a lot of nationalities, every country should be putting out warnings.
The US has lost it’s mind.
Couple the immigration issues with the fact that planes keep falling out of the sky in their air space due to air traffic control being gutted and even flying to Canada starts becoming dangerous too.
I’ll be avoiding the whole of North America for the foreseeable future, it’s just not safe.
When the courts said it was legal for a billionaire to spend 250 million to buy votes, I knew there was nothing left of our Democracy. I asked around, no one I knew had 250 million to buy votes for Kamala. Sorry guys.
Not just Canada…
