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.

      Comparing Iran to Russia and the US is strange in every way. Iran has a very defensive military, geared towards defending Iran. There aren’t exactly private military contractors from Iran everywhere just murdering anyone that isn’t snow white. Iran hasn’t surrounded the US with military bases. People just completely swallowed that axis of evil horseshit.

        Um look I‘m completely against both Russian and American imperialism, but they did support Assad in Syria: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_intervention_in_the_Syrian_civil_war

        Iirc they sent their revolutionary guards there to fight. And Hezbollah was deeply involved in defending the Assad regime. With the Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah they do have proxy armies in the Middle East.

        Iran is a lovely country and its horrible what western imperialism has done to it, but their regime is as shitty as it gets. If Palestine were suddenly freed from the Zionists and they’d be under the influence of Iran instead it would be the same shit all over again, saying this just to make a point.

      Oh please. Out of all the people the US had harmed, the current Iranian regime has caused the vast majority of its own problems. China and even Russia you can find a arguably sympathetic angle for if you’re motivated enough. The Iranian regime is simply inhuman and lost.
