Canadian Actress Detained by ICE Over Visa Dispute Sparks Concerns Over Treatment

Jasmine Mooney, known for her role in 'American Pie,' describes inhumane conditions during her detention at U.S. immigration facilities.

Jasmine Mooney, a Canadian actress and entrepreneur, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after her work visa renewal was denied at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Mooney was held for over 10 days in multiple detention centers, reporting harsh conditions including sleeping on mats without blankets and being shackled during transfers between facilities.
Her family and legal representatives expressed frustration over delays and lack of communication from ICE, with her mother describing the treatment as 'inhumane.'
The Canadian government confirmed awareness of the case but stated it cannot intervene in another country's immigration policies, while local officials raised concerns over the broader implications for U.S.-Canada relations.
Mooney is expected to be deported soon, with her family awaiting confirmation of her release and return to Canada.
