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.
At that point does it even matter? Like, if she were working another profession would they put it in the headline?
Variety is an Entertainment Magazine, so it’s relevant for their readers. If you read a news article about this, they don’t mention her work history so much, except as it relates to the business she recently opened in the States.
Non-entertainment news source from last week here.
…such and such, a dental assistant masseuse’s moral support assistant…
You’re only hearing about her because she has media connections in the first place.
Canada has been hearing about it since the day the US government agents kidnapped her.
Yes, I intentionally chose those specific words.
My point still stands. How many other people have been kidnapped who we haven’t heard about? She’s an actor so she has more media access than most people.
Far too many
