Officials allegedly told her she was "unprofessional because I didn't have a proper letterhead" on her paperwork.
How dare her paperwork not wear a suit!

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You have to say pwease and tank you, missus moodey
I'm confused, did she even try to cross the border or was she just there to renew her visa? Why not just send her back for fuck's sake?
Edit:
Okay, if I understood it correctly, she was already in the US and had a valid visa, which was about to expire. Her lawyer told her to go to the border to renew it, and as she was working in LA, that was the nearest border crossing. This makes it even more insane.
Absolutely. They're handling scenarios this way to scare people and demonstrate cruelty.

Seriously , that’s what happened? I was going to say, the article wasn’t clear on whether there was actually a problem but it sounds like not

I think I've figured out what timeline we're in.
At this point the bombs can only bring improvements.
At least the writing will get decent for about 80 years.

She spent 11 days detained.
“I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days,” [...] “I have never in my life seen anything so inhumane.” She went on to describe one incident when she and 30 other women were moved in the middle of the night to a facility in Arizona. During the ordeal, she was forced to be “up for 24 hours wrapped in chains.”
From CBC.CA (Eagles is her mother's surname):
Eagles said the detainees at the San Luis facility have no sleeping mats or blankets or windows, and the lights are on all day and night.
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.
Christ with a bejeweled handbag, does somebody have a link to the juicy transcript?
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.

Those are some psychological mind games right there
It's called torture.

The family's using her traumatic experience to publicize the inhumane conditions at those 3 detention centres, and raise awareness for her cellmates. They talk about constant lighting (torture), being moved at 3am to a different state (fucking with your lawyer), being chained and overcrowded.
“There’s 30 other people in her cell that have not even been spoken to by a detention caseworker. So there are people in there whose families don’t know where their kids are.” - Jasmine’s father, Stephen Mooney, speaking on March 13th.
These conditions should be common knowledge, and this traumatized family is doing what they can on that front.
You and I are not more safe than she is. Our neighbours are not more safe than she is. Her escape does not make her the enemy of her cellmates. We're all Venezuelan gang members (or whoever it's ok to fuck with) if they take our papers and deem us so.
and if people don't think political dissidents are on the list, they're delusional. we may not be the priority yet, but they're checking off demographics at an alarming rate.

While the actress has some notoriety, huge part of the international trade relies on short term work visa. When Airbus builds a new factory in the US, or That a US factory chooses German industrial robots, you need to send people on short-term work visa to kickstart it.

Maybe some people will start to care more now that it's happening to celebrities
People should be disturbed that this is happening to ANY human being. Not just celebrities.
They should, but anecdotes featuring a person you somehow know beyond the specific situation are more potent.
they should, yes. they SHOULD have cared back in 2016. maybe they will now.
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!
When it comes to the people that still don't care, I figure they won't care until it happens to them directly.

When this is happening to even the beautiful white women, you know shit's a thousand times worse for BIPOC... I know that we had issues with immigration during previous administrations, but they were nothing compared to this vile treatment.
Are these the privately owned detention centers? All I can say the USA has several Dachau's and it could become worse.

These stories make me wish people hadn't reelected Bush and Obama when both made it very clear they were supportive of fascist policies like torture, extraordinary rendition, drone bombings without accountability, permanent imprisonment, etc.
None of this is new. It's just louder now.

She was in American Pie?
Looks like it was in one of the spin off movies
At that point does it even matter? Like, if she were working another profession would they put it in the headline?
No, but I suspect the last line qualifies it's inclusion, where her"status" and presence in the media field gave her an opportunity to amplify her story and provide the visibility it needed to get her freed.
Yes and it also raises visibility for the very real issues that people have raised concerns about. It's one thing to detain and/or deport people without proper documentation. It's another to act as though people with the proper documentation who are abiding the laws are also being detained and/or deported. Say nothing for the US citizens who are also being detained and/or deported.
You're only hearing about her because she has media connections in the first place.

I don't want to minimise her suffering but I'm sure there are many other people in similar situations that we haven't heard about.

At this point, why does anyone even want/try to get into the usa if something like this is a big possibility to happen?
MacNamara's 100,000 idiots programme during Vietnam War wasn't a success, so the next best thing for them is to institute the programme domestically and with intended results.
The idiots here are the ICE agents.
10-to-1 they had no idea what to do when a Canadian citizen showed up at the Mexican borderder.
The real scary shit is in the last line:
After her release, Mooney credited media attention and her support network for securing her freedom.
How many people don't have that luxury?
Like, not every lawful immigrant is a C-list actress best known for an American Pie spinoff that didn't even have Stiffler. Surely several are falling through the cracks.
This has got me concerned that a statistically significant number of people who don't have that kind of reach are just...disappearing...
