Canadian Woman: I Was “Put In Chains” By ICE [Video]

San Diego’s ABC affiliate reports:

A Canadian entrepreneur detained by ICE is speaking out after she got arrested while trying to enter the San Diego border to obtain a visa last Monday. “Every single guard that sees me is like ‘What are you doing here? I don’t understand – you’re Canadian. How are you here?’” Jasmine Mooney said in an interview from the Arizona immigration detention center she is now fighting to get out of.

Mooney, who is the co-founder of the Holy! Water brand, said a U.S. border officer at the Vancouver airport in Canada revoked her first visa when she was visiting home. “They told me I was unprofessional because I didn’t have a proper letterhead on my paperwork,” Mooney said. Mooney said a border officer told her because she had a prior visa revoked, she needed to go to a U.S. consulate to apply for legal status to work in the country again.
