Summary
"American Pie" actress Jasmine Mooney, a Canadian citizen, was detained by ICE while attempting to renew her work visa at the U.S.-Mexico border on March 3.
She described the experience as a "deeply disturbing psychological experiment," including sleeping on a mat with "aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body," being transported in chains, and receiving inedible food.

Absolutely. They're handling scenarios this way to scare people and demonstrate cruelty.
"Come to the US, the land of the fuck you."

"Come to the US, the land of the fuck you."
Precisely.

When this is happening to even the beautiful white women, you know shit's a thousand times worse for BIPOC... I know that we had issues with immigration during previous administrations, but they were nothing compared to this vile treatment.

At that point does it even matter? Like, if she were working another profession would they put it in the headline?
....such and such, a dental assistant masseuse's moral support assistant....

What does this mean?
-
I'm confused, did she even try to cross the border or was she just there to renew her visa? Why not just send her back for fuck's sake?
Edit:
Okay, if I understood it correctly, she was already in the US and had a valid visa, which was about to expire. Her lawyer told her to go to the border to renew it, and as she was working in LA, that was the nearest border crossing. This makes it even more insane.Seriously , that’s what happened? I was going to say, the article wasn’t clear on whether there was actually a problem but it sounds like not
-
I don't want to minimise her suffering but I'm sure there are many other people in similar situations that we haven't heard about.
White, some level of fame, voluntarily coming in from the “right” side of the border, had some sort of paperwork, her work visa apparently hadn’t yet expired?

The family's using her traumatic experience to publicize the inhumane conditions at those 3 detention centres, and raise awareness for her cellmates. They talk about constant lighting (torture), being moved at 3am to a different state (fucking with your lawyer), being chained and overcrowded.
“There’s 30 other people in her cell that have not even been spoken to by a detention caseworker. So there are people in there whose families don’t know where their kids are.” - Jasmine’s father, Stephen Mooney, speaking on March 13th.
These conditions should be common knowledge, and this traumatized family is doing what they can on that front.
You and I are not more safe than she is. Our neighbours are not more safe than she is. Her escape does not make her the enemy of her cellmates. We're all Venezuelan gang members (or whoever it's ok to fuck with) if they take our papers and deem us so.

Variety is an Entertainment Magazine, so it's relevant for their readers. If you read a news article about this, they don't mention her work history so much, except as it relates to the business she recently opened in the States.

She spent 11 days detained.
“I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days,” [...] “I have never in my life seen anything so inhumane.”
She went on to describe one incident when she and 30 other women were moved in the middle of the night to a facility in Arizona. During the ordeal, she was forced to be “up for 24 hours wrapped in chains.”From CBC.CA (Eagles is her mother's surname):
Eagles said the detainees at the San Luis facility have no sleeping mats or blankets or windows, and the lights are on all day and night.

These stories make me wish people hadn't reelected Bush and Obama when both made it very clear they were supportive of fascist policies like torture, extraordinary rendition, drone bombings without accountability, permanent imprisonment, etc.
None of this is new. It's just louder now.
no this is very new....

I think I've figured out what timeline we're in.

Those are some psychological mind games right there

The original Fallout intro. Worth seeing the whole thing.

I guess you just slept through the War on Terror, then.

Are these the privately owned detention centers? All I can say the USA has several Dachau's and it could become worse.

your original statement is correct, but i feel the need to speak up on behalf of obama.
the terrorist kill list was a little shady, but it was effective (although messy).
we really need to embrace the power of martial force for good. the good guys can't always take the high road. sometimes there is no better solution than to just apply a hammer.
