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.

    Jesus Christ, they already tried that shit with the lights in Trump I and the 9th circuit told them to fucking stop it. I distinctly remember because one of the judges was in a Japanese internment camp as a kid, and he ate that dipshit Trump attorney alive.

    And yet, here we are again.

        I hate the fucking title of this video so fucking much it pains me to share it, but this is really the best cut, IMO. There’s also the full hour version on YouTube if you search “9th circuit Sarah Fabian”.

        Enjoy!

          I have been literally dragged away and locked in a cage overnight for being a miniscule fraction as evasive dishonest and disrespectful as this piece of shit nazi scum was to a judge. these people are at fault for not just locking this bitch up-and for bonus karma, doing it in conditions it defines are okay.

          treating nazis with kid gloves is how we got here.

            Yeah. Imo, extra painful because you can tell that she knows what she’s arguing for is wrong. Not only does she know she should be ashamed, on some level, deep down in there, she is ashamed, and she’s there arguing for it anyway.

              The name SARAH FABIAN is now tarnished FOREVER. Just doing your job hu? Well… karma will surely do its job. You can NOT defend that which is undefendable and expect to get away with it. I’ve met DOGS with a MUCH HIGHER Moral Standard than you. What an embarrassment to humanity. Sickening.

              One of the comments on that YouTube video link. Her name will forever go down as filth and disgust. To argue over toothbrush, toothpaste and a warm blanket is wild!
