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.

        They’re attempting to justify the unjustifiable.

        They’re polite and calm about it, you’re correct. But those words pertain to how information is transmitted, not something that can be used to consider the morality of the information contained therein.

        Do not confuse a kind way of saying horrible things as making the horrible things not horrible.

      People are less likely to listen to your point of view if you don’t approach them in good faith. I wish Democrats would learn this lesson.
