A Canadian businesswoman who was arrested in the United States by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents over an incomplete visa is being held in “inhumane” conditions in an Arizona detention center, according to her family, who have now gone public in an attempt to secure her release.

Jasmine Mooney, 35, co-founder of the Holy! Water health drink brand, was detained after crossing the San Ysidro border between Mexico and San Diego on March 3. She was carrying an incomplete application for a new Trade NAFTA (TN) work visa after her first was unexpectedly revoked, according to her mother Alexis Eagles.

She said of her time at the Otay Mesa facility: “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.”

Mooney said that she and 30 other women were then relocated to Arizona in the middle of the night, adding: “We were up for 24 hours wrapped in chains.”

Her story should do a lot to kill off any tourism from Canada that Trump hasn't already killed off with his stupid tariffs and other idiocies and fascist decisions.

Btw, Holy! Water (that name because "health is sacred" ) is a health drink with "functional mushrooms" (not sure what those are) and "adaptogens, nootropics and ketones" for what's supposed to be extra-healthy hydration.
