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.
Considering where things are going, isn't protecting your kids a reason to not show up to work and show up to protest? What will you say to them if they ask, "Did you do anything to fight back and protect us?" The saddest part is reading/hearing stuff like this, because one day "I have kids to protect" becomes your reasoning to march towards certain death in a battlefield, why wait till it gets to that point? Reminds me of what Aaron Bushnell said, "Many of us like to ask ourselves, what would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide? The answer is, you're doing it. Right now.”
