After a dozen days being shuffled between detention centres in the U.S., Jasmine Mooney has made it back to Vancouver.

The Canadian entrepreneur, who was detained after applying for a visa at the U.S.-Mexico border on March 3, touched down at Vancouver International Airport shortly after midnight Saturday morning.

“I’m still, to be honest, really processing everything,” Mooney told reporters who were waiting for her at YVR’s international arrivals area.

“I haven’t slept in a while and haven’t eaten proper food in a while, so I’m just really going through the motions.”

Obligatory reminder that “no special treatment” means you get treated like a Haitian or Mexican or Muslim trying to enter the US. Yes, even a white Canadian.

In no way am i blaming the victim here, but we can learn a lesson from her experience: Don’t go.

It really is that simple. Treat it like the covid days. Do not go for your own safety unless it is absolutely required.

Don't think I saw it mentioned here but the lady seems to be ultra maple maga.

That would explain her wishy-washy stance on who is culpable for this mistreatment. Idiot.

Nope, this is the quotable quote:

“When I got to know everyone else in there, and heard all of their stories and how long they were in there, I was like, ‘OK, I’m not allowed to feel sorry for myself at all, because every single person in here is in a way worse situation than me,’” she said.

Anyone still going to the USA for anything other than life or survival threatening reasons is either a fool or a traitor.

Hope she gets a good lawyer

I would have PTSD after this ordeal … fuck the US and this bullshit. And I’m American.
