“American Pie” actress Jasmine Mooney said she was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials while trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border to renew her work visa.
Mooney, a Canadian whose other credits include “Kid Cannabis,” “Loudermilk,” ‘iZombie” and “Six,” attempted to enter the U.S. from Mexico on March 3. Wanting to renew her work visa, she tried to cross at San Diego where her lawyer lived. Instead of being granted access, she was detained by ICE, in an experience she describes as a “deeply disturbing psychological experiment.”
“I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days,” Mooney told local San Diego news outlet KGTV 10. “I have never in my life seen anything so inhumane.”
Mooney said the food quality at the Otay Mesa Detention Center was so poor she refused to eat it, causing her to lose “so much weight.” She went on to describe one incident when she and 30 other women were moved in the middle of the night to a facility in Arizona. During the ordeal, she was forced to be “up for 24 hours wrapped in chains.”
The specific rationale behind her imprisonment remains unclear, but it’s been suggested that her involvement with Holy! Water, a company she co-founded which produces “full-spectrum hemp” beverages, might have played a role in the situation.
“They told me I was unprofessional because I didn’t have a proper letterhead on my paperwork,” Mooney said.
Upon returning to Vancouver International Airport on Saturday, she told news outlets: “I still don’t even know how I’m home. My friends and my family and the media are the reason, I think, that I’m home.”
