Canadian entrepreneur and actress Jasmine Mooney was arrested and detained by ICE for 12 days after trying to enter the United States at the San Diego border to obtain a visa last month.
“Every single guard that sees me is like ‘What are you doing here? I don’t understand – you’re Canadian. How are you here?’” Mooney said in an interview from the Arizona immigration detention center she was fighting to get out of.
Mooney described conditions she called “appalling” inside the private for-profit detention facility.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger wonder why immigration enforcement officials didn’t just refuse Mooney entry rather than imprisoning her.
