Summary

"American Pie" actress Jasmine Mooney, a Canadian citizen, was detained by ICE while attempting to renew her work visa at the U.S.-Mexico border on March 3.

She described the experience as a "deeply disturbing psychological experiment," including sleeping on a mat with "aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body," being transported in chains, and receiving inedible food.

Officials allegedly told her she was "unprofessional because I didn't have a proper letterhead" on her paperwork.

After her release, Mooney credited media attention and her support network for securing her freedom.

A bit of a stretch to say American Pie actor. She was in some random like 15th sequel with like only Eugene Levy remaining from the original cast and crew. Having said that, it's still not right.

Who are these people working for ICE? Should they not be whistleblowing or something?

Maybe they're all true believers. It's probably not a job you'd take if you wanted to treat people fairly and kindly.

They got bullied by their parents and continued the cycle. Just like most cops, they failed the IQ test, as is required. If you're too smart, they are allowed and do ban you from police work.
