This is so sad!! In my 80 years in this country, I would have NEVER believed we could fall this far this fast!! I fear for my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren!
I'm sorry you had to read that headline.
It's not good but it's more a "watch" for declining civil rights.
I hope something miraculous happens that we didn't see coming because I don't see much else happening by the powers that be.
they have a welsh female as well..shes there legally though they didnt believe her that shes not there to work ..so shes still detained..3 weeks now ..no word or explaination ..ffs
Since the National Parks are losing their staff, and ordinary tourists are treated like criminals, there will be many fewer reasons for people to visit the US - will the hospitality industry have any sway on US policies?
It's often the case that governments will advise their citizens not to travel to places that are unsafe even for the locals.
But Canada has been slow to act.
Canada - Go to the mattresses!
Don't take this BS!
We love you, our continental cousins, and it hurts to know #HisFlatulency is blowing it so much. Kick our asses.
Horrific administration.
Horrific ICE treatment.
Why can’t they let her go and give her a court date?
She has a business in the USA.
No reason to hold her.
Thats terrible
Did she not see the bs going on before hand?
My wife had a job offer in the US and we said fuk that. Exactly why we said fuk it, for that very reason.
The update someone posted said she'd been living there for about a year and sunk thousands of dollars into a startup business already. I can understand not wanting to waste all that money. She will probably rethink that now though.
That one is a bit more complicated. She tried to enter Canada from the US with a "work for room and board" organization. Canada's immigration saw this as trying to work without a proper work visa and turned her back. US Immigration then put her in jail for not having a US visa.
Reading the details, I find the Canadian woman a bit stunt-prone. That is, her previous visa had been revoked by Canadian officials; then she entered the U.S. from Mexico to obtain a new visa.
ICE inhumane treatment of her remains unwarranted. Nevertheless, we live in dangerous times.
"To apply for a US visa from Canada, you must first visit the U.S. Non-Immigrant Visa Applicant Website to fill out the DS-160 application form, pay the visa application fee, and schedule an interview appointment."
I live MINUTES away from the US border. You cannot pay me enough to cross. I’ve canceled Oregon road trip. No more fun outings to shop in Bellingham. These crazy detainment stories are popping up way too often these days…
And it’s only been 50 days. Trade wars… Despicable ICE detentions… stock markets spiraling… thousands of government employees losing jobs… I can continue, but I will run out of space. Our county won’t be recognizable at the end of this administration. Hell, it isn’t recognizable now.
I’m heartbroken. This is not America. I’m so afraid for our future I have set up an appointment for my 21 year old son to get his passport next week. He had one, but it expired at 18. I want him to be able to leave if he needs to.
Along with the Democrats that are about to capitulate to the GOP for the spending bill, which will toss the elderly and those receiving social security on their asses.
You read the link and realise it's not just Trump and Musk, something sick is happening with Americans. Don't go there, don't trust them and don't buy their products.
What kind of defective do you have to be as a person to have this kind of vindictiveness toward your fellow humans? ICE apparently attracts only the worst of us.
This Canadian considers the USA a hostile nation. As individuals, I've had great interactions. As a nation you've always been somewhat obnoxious and full of bluster. It's only getting worse. Performative patriotism and mythology do not make a nation great.
As an American, I'm feeling like I'm living in a hostile nation right now. Trump, the Heritage Foundation, Musk, and the Seven Mountains nuts have overthrown our Republic and its liberal democracy Constitution. Autocracy, Theocracy, and Oligarchy are our travail.
I'm american and "full of bluster" is such a Canadian way of putting it 😂 You're all way too polite & kind, love that about your culture 💜 But no, "loudly & arrogantly narcissistic & self centered" is how I'd describe my country as a whole actually 😑 Not "performative" but "cult-like" patriotism 😑😖
So "fun" story, I was actually born into a cult (I'm ex-mormon) and the way american children are taught patriotism (how to care for & carry & fold a 🇺🇸 flag, daily pledges of allegiance with hand on heart, etc) is actually very cult-like. And cult-like patriotism is always going to be performative.
I've seen it in real life. It's very strange. Americans seem to thrive on it. Whenever I hear a large crowd begin shouting "USA, USA" repeatedly I shake my head. There's patriotism and then there's lunacy.
Not only will this kill Canadian tourism to the U.S. but it's also the Nazis pushing the boundaries further and further as they work up the nerve to get to what they really want: killing.
That's the end game. Killing. Killing is the only thing that will satisfy them at this point.
ICE today are the brown shirts of yesterday. Hitler used them extensively to control any hint of dissension in the populous.
ICE as we know them today can target anyone that they feel does not fit into their idea of norm. And they can be as vicious as they want since they are Donnie's brown shirts.
As a Canadian I don't see the difference in detaining a Canadian woman in chains than a Honduran woman in chains. We need to stop pitting the haves against the have nots.
Yes and—
1. her government has more strength and power to fight this behavior
2. the whole adage “representation is important”: it is important for other “haves” to be able to see these crimes also happening to “someone like them”.
Publicizing her case is important for the treatment of everyone
If only that would guarantee that the haves would have empathy and help those on the other side. I don't see the masses rising up to save people of Latin American countries crossing the southern border. Where was everyone when children were being separated from their parents, never to be reunited?
I also try to remind myself that not everyone “rises up” in the same way—and not all ways are visible. It’s still not enough overall, clearly, but sometimes all I can do is have faith that many of the helpers do so invisibly to mass actions or news narratives
That’s what I noticed in this article. The guards were perfectly fine with treating brown people inhumanely but couldn’t understand a white woman being treated that way.
Yes most of us here see it that way but this will get the attention of the maga base faster because Canadians have not (yet) been successfully vilified in the maga media. They or more likely to recognize this injustice as possibly happening to them or a loved one.
Jasmine Mooney, entered the U.S. at the San Ysidro border crossing between Mexico and San Diego on March 3 with an incomplete application for a Trade NAFTA work visa.
She should have just been sent back across to fix her application, not jailed and then worse.
He's arrested American veterans.
One guy had served for 18 years !!!
The only reason he's arresting anyone is to drive fear into the masses.
No one in the US is illegal.
There is no law against being in another country.
They're not even looking to see if people have their documents!
When my son jumped the border at 15 to see what the US would do, they chained him to a bench, interrogated him, and kept him for 7 hours before calling me at 11pm.
I’d been calling and texting him for 4 hours by the time they’d called.
This is getting outta control. How can they keep getting away with behaviour. Did we not learn anything from history ? There needs to be consequences for these actions.
What the flaming fuck!!!! Mark my words folks, the Musk/trump era will end and end very very badly. Canadians are fully behind restoring the American democray.
Just so incomprehensible that she had to be detained. They could have denied the Visa and just sent her back to the Mexican border. She can fly back to Canada from there. And what's with the shackles and handcuffs on everybody? It's insane.
The nasty bastards that were in ICE get to do just what they've always wanted to do [Border Force in the UK would be the same].
There's no forcing or "Just following orders" this is what they enjoy doing.
Someone PLEASE tell her mother and other relevant family members to get in touch with the Canadian Consulate that is closest to this woman's present location. If enough people holler loud enough, Trump's ICE will back down and let this woman go.
Now is NOT the time to be nice about it and back down. Keep hollering. And has her family contacted the closest Canadian Consulate to her in the U.S.? Yes, it will mean an expensive long-distance call, but if it gets her home safely it's worth it.
If you have to ask the consulate question, it's evidence that you are uninformed about what has been going on. And what power do you think a consulate has vs ICE and the entire Trump administration. The answer is: none. 🙄
No normal person would ever want to work for ICE and wouldn’t get hired anyway because they wouldn’t be able to apply the level of cruelty necessary for the job.
This isn’t new. ICE & CBP been treating nonwhite migrants like this for decades (yes, even under Biden). People are horrified now because white Canadians and Europeans are now caught in the gulags.
Jasmine In Chains should be the name of my new Alice In Chains cover band, not something actually happening in some dark corner of America by order of the President to someone who isn't a criminal or terrorist by any measure.
She has no grounds to sue. She had a revoked visa. She fucked up and now is using political unrest to play victim. She is a victim of her own ignorance. More fallacy raging because facts distorted.
a fact everyone misses.Visa revoked in Vancouver-no detention.when she didn’t use her home country to reapply,instead went to MX to enter,her behaviour was viewed as attempt to circumvent.she was flagged.her second attempt at a different border worked against her.thus,every right to detain.🤷🏼♀️
When trump says he will "cherish Canada" as the 51st state we cannot forget he said he would "cherish women" too. He wants to f*** women, Canada, Greenland, Mexico and Panama!
He wants our rape our cared for country of its' rare minerals, fresh water and waterfront real estate.
I hope she's released soon. That being said, these are not normal times in any sense. For your safety and sanity and the sanity of your loved ones go through proper channels. Do not take for granted that you will be okay, because you can't take it for granted anymore. She may be barred permanently.
What the hell is ICE doing? Trying to be like be like all other violent Nazi police and shitty dictators? So, this is what Russian Agent and Traitor Felon tRump regard humanity and "control"! Wrap tRump in chains and lock him up. The world would celebrate his incarceration. Save America!
We should just attack that shithole. Fuck it, we ride at dawn, someone contact Geneva and tell them they are going to need a LOT of room on that checklist.
Keep it up Yanks, we will burn it all down. Leave Canada and Canadians the fuck alone. At this point you folks will be taking your lives in your hands entering Canada. Some of us have ZERO calm right now, and know all the deepest waters and the darkest woods. Smarten the fuck up.
That makes anyone who is paying authentic here in the US, too. We've got zero chill about this situation, either. Freaking out. We totally agree with the outrage. Take #NostraDumbass to the cleaners! Do what you got to do. I'm so sorry. We're a "shithole" country right now to borrow his phrase.
All you Americans are doing anymore is marching around holding signs once in a while, and then you chant for us Canadians to hurt MAGA for you. Can't y'all do a nation-wide strike or something? Do what France did ya lazy fucks.
I am sorry, NOT sorry. We are not American, your bullshit is once again bleeding on other nations. This is Systemic of a nation that has spent too long sniffing its own farts. I got no empathy left to give, your nation is threatening our sovereignty. Period.
We deserve it all. Know that we the people are also fighting against this extremism. We call our politicians every day, host post card parties to promote resistance, protest, testify at state senate hearings, guerrilla market & so much more. It is all hands on deck. Again, we are sorry.
All hands on deck isn’t posting on socials and sending letters. You are past that. This is rise up and rip it down before it is too late times. Anything less is just lip service. 🤷🏽♂️
I agree. Not all are physically able to protest so we host postcard parties to inform the public to help people like that be involved. We are boycotting, protesting and doing what our activists groups are telling us. Always open to new ideas
most of you do support this, either by voting for a third party, not voting at all or voting for trump, and with some few exceptions most americans seems to sit on the sideline and waiting for someone else to fix this. Meanwhile the rest of us will suffer because of it.
Don't make excuses to the rest of the world. FIX THIS! Storm the Capital if you have to. Take back power! Go for it. There is apparently no penalty for violent mobs that attack the Capital; so DO IT!
Exactly. It's been needed for over a month and still nothing. I don't think any other country would be sleepwalking into a brutal, authoritarian and bigoted dictatorship like USA is doing. There would be mass disruption and rightly so, the apathy of so many Americans is scary.
I can't quite believe that people are waiting for it all to just work out. It won't. Perhaps America has never been a democracy at all. What first world country allows a criminal to become President? Where are Bush, Clinton, Obama, Biden?
Usually past presidents don't meddle with the current Presidents administration. I believe Trump is the first to do so as we saw during the Biden term running the Republican Congress members voting.
You say this like America was not founded on the institution of kidnapping and trafficking Africans into forced labor for centuries.
Jesus Christ, the America propaganda machine was REAL. This country did not just turn evil. It always was!
ICE isn't fully the American Gestapo yet, but it's what they aspire to. They need to be watched, they're standard MO is to abuse their authority and to violate people's rights.
Every nation has them. SS and Gestapo officers didn't just materialise out of thin air in 1937, they were the creepy little shit at school, the middle management bully, the fanatical scout leader.
Fascism is just their chance to become fully inhuman and they relish the opportunity and the impunity.
Ok… NYT reports … German and British tourists detained by ICE for weeks? And now a Canadian Woman has been detained by ICE? Excuse me, but I am thinking all other countries should put U.S. on their No Fly List… do NOT travel here…
Many people from all over the world have already said they won’t visit here, which will of course translate to loss of $$ for US tourism. Good, I wouldn’t want to come here if I lived elsewhere. I hope tourism nose dives like Elon’s Tesla stock
Yeah, I've got no desire to re visit the USA, I loved visiting in the past and have a few expat Aussie friends to immigrated to the US. But no, not whilst the orange turd monster is in charge. I'd rather go to Canada and Mexico.
This is absolutely horrific! Please everyone do not come to the U.S. for anything right now!! We have a lunatic in control and he is destroying everything! Please do not add to our economy- please do not buy US goods!
The monarchy don't rule any Commonwealth countries. The king is a ceremonial figurehead with no power. We need our new 🇨🇦 prime minister, Mark Carney, to act.
🇨🇦🇺🇦🤔They featured this kind of thing on CBC news last night-saying that Canadians are going to have to register differently if they are staying longer than 30 days and have to have their permit with them at all times or some bullshit.
Trump is embarrassing America-
We know Americans support us!
🇨🇦🤔Apparently they won’t be fingerprinting Canadians-
At least that’s what one American immigration lawyer said last night when interviewed.
He didn’t see it as feasible.
Our snowbirds go to Florida-
Honestly, I don’t know WHY-
To visit Mar-a-Lago or see Ron DeSantis?
Yuck! 🤮
Last time I was there was Oct for an aunt’s funeral. Next up? Another (imminent) funeral for BIL. After that? 50th class reunion. Unlikely I’ll go to the last one.
🇨🇦🇺🇦🙏🏻Sorry for your loss.
It must be an awfully difficult time for your sister and family.
It’s different when you have family there-
That’s a whole other dynamic-
Americans & Canadians are very much intertwined—
That doesn’t have to change.
Thank you. We are so very intertwined & my sister gets that. I’m sure she’ll tell me not to come (I haven’t yet let her know) but that’s not an option. I like to think the damage done by MangoMan isn’t irreparable. A midterm crushing of GOP MoC may work to repair the still-growing rift.
Unfortunately the 25th begins with the VP and cabinet members. That just isn’t going to happen. In addition, do we really want a couch fucker as pres? In unprecedented times, we need unprecedented measures to get rid of this whole admin. No other choices are viable!
MAGAts hate Vance. When Yam Tits dies, there will be a YUGE vacuum, chaos and infighting. We might just get a chance to get in there and save the damn country.
This is not what we need on top of the tariff war! ICE is operating like a child who ate a large bag of M&Ms, didn’t take a nap and is now cranky with a severe stomach ache!
I’m sorry, you aren’t missing anything. You need literal MILLIONS. Like Europe and everywhere else. It is the ONLY thing that’ll work to get the change you want.
A war that won't be backed by the people or the military. Hopefully we just get invaded and the government gets overthrown and all these want to be kings get taken by the icc for crimes against humanity.
F it. Let's just pack our bags and ask Canada to let us in. We can beg for forgiveness for our stupid American counterparts and that all of this BS isn't our fault. The prescriptions are cheap, and the beer is strong.
This is us? This is disgusting. Hopefully now that more privileged people are getting the same treatment the poor gets we start to wake up. Unacceptable
Every time I have entered the US for business and leisure the experience has been awful, you never feel welcome, the staff are hostile, the treatment abrupt and borderline rude. Cannot contemplate what it would be like now or even consider visiting.
Another story, a Venezuelan man had made an appointment via the CBPOne app that the Biden Admin had made
He arrived in the US on his flight and was detained by CBP, accused of being a gang member because he had 2 tattoos that are popular in Venezuela (Air Jordan & Crown). Then sent to Guantanamo
Weeks ago, I warned anyone willing to read my post, that everyone should consider their safety when vacationing in the US, as they could wind up in the ICE system with no one that will listen to them.
It looks like that reality is taking place. Arresting Canadians for being in the US. Wow.
Comments
I sent out an email to my clients to see if the wanted to change the geography of where I promoted them.
It is a REAL concern
It's not good but it's more a "watch" for declining civil rights.
I hope something miraculous happens that we didn't see coming because I don't see much else happening by the powers that be.

Oh wait... Tbag and minion were themselves. Despicable.
But Canada has been slow to act.
Don't take this BS!

If it did, HOLY FUCK!!
If it didn't, we need these posts to be more discretionary.

Great bio, Deb! Nice to meet you. +1 follower. 👋
Watch the reality TV show on Canada Border Services and the one on US Border Agency
Both are eye opening
ICE inhumane treatment of her remains unwarranted. Nevertheless, we live in dangerous times.
#FuckTrump
I used to be over the border a number of times a year.
Never again.
If something isn’t done fast, I don’t know how you fix all the damage and destroyed friendships/alliances.
Thankfully as a nurse and engineering student so won’t be front line fodder
My great grandfather immigrated from 🇺🇸to 🇨🇦 in 1914
I found his US draft card on Ancestry. One side said rejected due to TB, he left🇺🇸 soon after with his young family
He has no bounds
We could all spit in his ketamine or maybe something a little harder...
Schumer just showed that he doesn’t
Include them in the fold.
Angry CEOs met with Trump and said nothing
Too many fear losing wealth, jobs, positions, homes, influence to do anything
Those with nothing to lose are those who will lead
https://bsky.app/profile/everyonehateselon.bsky.social
It’s a suspicion of others who just might be as competent (or more) without being “blessed to be ‘Murican”
That's the end game. Killing. Killing is the only thing that will satisfy them at this point.

a for profit immigrant detention facility
let that sink in
She should have just been sent back across to fix her application, not jailed and then worse.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jasmine-mooney-canadian-detained-ice-us-mexico/
After they implemented tariffs they would go back and open trade talks with countries
Who is going to trust them to keep their word when they broke Trumps own trade deal with Canada and Mexico?

I’d been calling and texting him for 4 hours by the time they’d called.
🙏🏻 they didn’t put him in a detention facility
I thought he was rebelling
I am surprised they never called me until they were releasing him b/c he was a minor
That pissed me off
How much did this stunt cost taxpayers?
All they had to do was turn her around back into Mexico where she could have caught a flight to Canada and applied there for entry
The agents there are Nazis. I was asked what I did & said I manufactured sensors, to which he asked ‘where do you manufacture’
I replied that was none of his business and had nothing to do with my application
There is nothing missing in my beautiful country 🇨🇦
There's no forcing or "Just following orders" this is what they enjoy doing.
Deny entry - but detain in detention?
He wants our rape our cared for country of its' rare minerals, fresh water and waterfront real estate.
The only way to save the *true US is kicking our asses. (Orange Shitler) & (it's) Nazi acolytes must perish
Jesus Christ, the America propaganda machine was REAL. This country did not just turn evil. It always was!
Seriously?
Fascism is just their chance to become fully inhuman and they relish the opportunity and the impunity.
Any word about this from HM King Charles, yet?
Americans who know this is wrong must stand up with and beside Canada!
There is no excuse!
We are under attack! Make no mistake!
Trump is a Putin asset!
Trump is embarrassing America-
We know Americans support us!
No thanks.
I’m Not a criminal.
He is….
At least that’s what one American immigration lawyer said last night when interviewed.

His words, not mine. I am just saying I will shed no tears.
ICE needs to be abolished.
*Don’t travel to/thru the US*
Trump and his weird puppet masters are out of control - I agree we need to in act the 25th amendment now -
like you think we'd be a little more prepared for the next fuck up. but nope.

The common denominator of all things we call sin is selfishness
There are a lot of selfish people in the US
Listened to @cnn.com story about Enron and the traders laughing that they’d caused people in California to be stuck in elevators and made jokes
