A true ordeal was claimed to have been experienced by Canadian actress Jasmine Mooney, known for her participation in American Pie Presents, when she was detained by agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the United States while trying to regularize her immigration status.
According to the actress, the detention took place on March 3, 2025 at the San Ysidro border crossing between Mexico and California, and lasted for 12 days, during which she described being subjected to inhumane treatment. From the San Luis Regional Detention Center in Arizona, she granted an interview to the media KGTV, an article signed by journalist Austin Grabish: "They put me in a cell and I had to sleep on a mattress without a blanket, without a pillow, with aluminum foil wrapped around my body like a corpse for two and a half days."
Why Jasmine Mooney was detained
Mooney tried to enter the United States to apply for a new work visa, as reported by the American media ABC 10. Her three-year TN visa had been revoked in November while she was traveling from Vancouver to Los Angeles. Mooney presented herself at immigration checkpoints without suspecting what would happen next: despite following her lawyer’s recommendations, immigration agents detained her instead of allowing her to process her documentation or return to Canada.
The ordeal she claims to have experienced was, in her own words, disturbing: "It’s something that I’m still processing." The actress was first taken to a detention center and then to the San Luis Regional Detention Center in Arizona.
She denounced inhumane conditions there. According to her testimony, she spent several nights in a cell without natural light, with constant fluorescent lighting, without a mattress or blankets, and wrapped in aluminum foil to endure the cold. She also stated that she was transported along with 30 other women, all chained for 24 hours.
What ICE said after Mooney's detention
ICE has officially stated what happened to the artist: “Mooney was processed in accordance with the ‘Securing Our Borders’ Executive Order of January 21. All foreign nationals who violate U.S. immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention, and, if found to be removable by final order, removal from the United States, regardless of their nationality”.
