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.

      People should be disturbed that this is happening to ANY human being. Not just celebrities.

      When it comes to the people that still don’t care, I figure they won’t care until it happens to them directly.

      I don’t know if I’d call her a ‘celebrity’

      She was in “American Pie, the book of love.” The 9th movie in the Pie series and direct to dvd.

      Though she’s getting a lot of attention now, and if hawk tuah girl can become a millionaire off a sloppy bj, good luck to Jasmine!

        To some degree though that’s exactly why this should be more alarming: the current administration ISN’T just doing this to easy targets they know the population will ignore. If they’re doing this to a nice white Canadian woman instead of brown people they can easily disappear without being noticed, that means they’re getting a lot braver.
