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.
I’m asking you to do what you can to stop a situation that’s far worse than the situation you described.
We’re asking you to stop trolling
Such as?

There’s tons more, there’s a whole Enlightenment Period to learn from. Of course, I posted these links before and they get downvoted, no doubt Americans will downvote the sacrifices of peoples who fought for their comforts today. Shameful culture without a shared history among them.
You can’t just post links to the past like that’s the world we are living in. Let me break it down Barney style for you.
If I don’t go to work because I was protesting I will be fired. Hell if the wrong people get wind of it I will be fired (best case scenario, and we’ll just assume I’m not going to come back home to look for work because I’m protesting!)>>> If I am fired my family will run out of money (as in $0, 0 credit) in about 2 months>>> Me and my family starve/are unhoused>>>protest over.
We actually have a little money set aside for emergencies so we can last longer than the Majority of Americans 30-60% of which are literally living paycheck to paycheck.
We are not in a position to do fucking anything without massive organized movement, and thanks to our geography and 50 years of carefully orchestrated plans to destroy the American middle-class that’s a tall order.
So were they, it just wasn’t a good enough excuse for them to go out and protest. You must be the other type of guy.
You do understand you need money to eat right? Am I interacting with a toddler?
No, just another stupid cunt on the Internet cosplaying revolutionary.
Incorrect, you need good soil to grow food to eat. Do you think that food comes from the supermarket? Am I interacting with a toddler?
“Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.”
Having that soil requires land, which a ton of people don’t have, or access to a social safety net which what little of it exists is actively being gutted. Where I live cars can legally run over any protestor in the road with no repercussions and the cops and legal system would cheer for them to do it. These are all differences vs the articles you linked previously. Resisting before we are organized right now is literally suicide, and even once organized many will still die (though it will likely be worth it at that point)
I share your anger, genuinely, but this is some pretty extreme victim blaming. This is unfortunately not the first or the last fascist regime the world has seen. Do you blame the Jews for “letting” Hitler kill them in camps, or the Chinese for “letting” themselves be run over by tanks? There absolutely are people to blame here and you are right to be livid with them but the remaining non-propgandized leftists in the states are just not it.
You are asking the remaining people who share your anger in the us to literally commit suicide by cop (or angry mob or life as a slave in private prison), which is just not helpful.
