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.

Officials allegedly told her she was "unprofessional because I didn't have a proper letterhead" on her paperwork.

After her release, Mooney credited media attention and her support network for securing her freedom.

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.

Jesus Christ, they already tried that shit with the lights in Trump I and the 9th circuit told them to fucking stop it. I distinctly remember because one of the judges was in a Japanese internment camp as a kid, and he ate that dipshit Trump attorney alive.

And yet, here we are again.

Christ with a bejeweled handbag, does somebody have a link to the juicy transcript?

I hate the fucking title of this video so fucking much it pains me to share it, but this is really the best cut, IMO. There's also the full hour version on YouTube if you search "9th circuit Sarah Fabian".
