AceShowbiz - Canadian actress Jasmine Mooney claimed she had suffered "inhuman" treatments by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). She said she was detained at the Mexico border after her work visa was revoked during a flight attempt from Vancouver to Los Angeles.

On the advice of her lawyer, Mooney ventured to the San Ysidro border between Mexico and San Diego to apply for a new visa with a job offer and necessary paperwork in hand.

"I have never in my life seen anything so inhumane," Mooney recounted, describing her experience at the Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego.

Upon arrival at the border, US agents instructed Mooney to visit a US Consulate to reestablish her legal working status. However, she was promptly refused re-entry to Mexico and was subsequently detained.

Mooney, along with 30 other women, was allegedly kept in alarming conditions - sleeping on mats with no blankets or pillows and covered with aluminum foil. She further detailed the ordeal, stating, "We were up for 24 hours wrapped in chains."

She was originally held in San Diego before being transported in shackles to the San Luis Regional Detention Center in Arizona. Throughout her detention, guards were baffled by her presence, repeatedly questioning, "What are you doing here? I don't understand - you're Canadian. How are you here?"

The Canadian government confirmed its awareness of Mooney's situation, with Brittany Fletcher from Global Affairs Canada affirming the ongoing efforts to obtain more information from US officials.

Meanwhile, her father, Stephen Mooney, voiced frustration, citing the lack of communication and due process within the system. He noted, "Just the lack of due process and the lack of communication that we've had through that detention center, I feel for, of course, not only Jasmine, but the many other people that are in there."

Mooney's mother, Alexis Eagles, shared her distress over her daughter's conditions, stating, "We have no issue with her being denied entry, we have no issue with her initially being detained. But we have a huge issue with the inhumane treatment she is receiving."

ICE officials maintained that Mooney's detention complies with the executive order by President Donald Trump aimed at securing US borders and addressing immigration law violations.

Jasmine Mooney is expected to be released after 11 days in detention, with plans to transport her to Tijuana, Mexico, before returning to Vancouver. Her father expressed hope that political pressure ultimately contributed to her release, urging Canadian travelers to exercise caution regarding work visa statuses when crossing into the US.
