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.
Yeah that was the time where maliciously maligning creeds was made a criminal offence, to stop Lutheran and Catholic preachers alike from inciting people, and religious freedom codified. Fast forward 400 years and Americans are telling us that we’re limiting free speech with that kind of thing while basing their identity on the theocracies of New England which they founded because England wouldn’t let them oppress people at home.
We did not send our best, and it hasn’t gone uphill since. The US slept through the whole Age of Enlightenment. There’s some trappings, sure, and their revolution certainly quoted it a lot, but try to find a trace of Kant anywhere in the US. Just consider the US’s insistence on a punitive criminal system (instead of rehabilitatory) in the light of the Categorical Imperative. Who, in any sensible state of mind, would consider inflicting suffering to be a desirable universal law.
