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.

    It’s the same thing, only the leopards have turned around and started eating a different set of faces.

      I’ve never heard stories of people with green cards getting sent to camp prisons though before.

        Like I said. Same leopards. Green card holders just didn’t think leopards would eat their faces.

        The US has had these internationally illegal and abusive practices for a long time now. It has a whole infrastructure for it.
