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.

    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.
