Summary
Canadian citizen Jasmine Mooney was detained by ICE for two weeks despite having a valid U.S. work visa. Stopped at the San Diego border, she was abruptly arrested, denied legal counsel, and held in freezing cells before being transferred to a private detention center.
She witnessed systemic inefficiencies, inhumane conditions, and detainees trapped in bureaucratic limbo.
After media attention and legal intervention, Mooney was released.
Her experience highlights the profit-driven nature of private detention centers and the broader failures of U.S. immigration enforcement under Trump’s administration.
There’s more employees than just the border guards themselves. There’s the HR, the IT, Accountants, Legal etc etc. Block all of them. If those services are contracted out, ban their workers as well. Might be a bit troublesome with companies like Amazon or Microsoft, but since you’re banning individual workers rather than whole companies it might work out a little easier.
Make it so the deal is “If you associate with this company and you aren’t a Canadian citizen, you are personally not allowed to enter Canada”
Who ever said it’s limited to guards? The whole point is why would they being going to Canada for work or study, which is what requires a visa. You don’t just meander over the border for a day of work.
