Summary

Jasmine Mooney, a 35-year-old Canadian woman, has been detained in U.S. immigration facilities since March 3 after attempting to enter with an incomplete Trade NAFTA work visa application.

She was initially held at San Ysidro border crossing before being transferred in chains to detention centers in San Diego and Arizona.

Her mother, Alexis Eagles, reports inhumane conditions including overcrowded concrete cells with constant lighting and inadequate facilities.

Business partner BJ McCaslin called the situation a "nightmare" while Global Affairs Canada confirmed they're aware but unable to intervene in U.S. immigration matters.

Agreed, I am not aware of a NAFTA work Visa, I was rejected once on a Visa as the border guards felt it was the wrong one for the task I was going down for. I've had 3 Visas and they were all US nothing to do with NAFTA.

That being said, maybe there is one.

Seems there is one called a NAFTA professional visa.
