Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

At this point, why does anyone even want/try to get into the usa if something like this is a big possibility to happen?

Oh, i'm pretty sure she has already seen inhumane treatment like this, just not up close.

That happens when your country goes cray cray, suddenly you are not watching the news, but are in it.

(not to belittle her experience, no doubt it was terrible, but I DO take offence at the "never seen anything so inhumane" though.

In a country with balls more ICE agents would get shot

Yeah this fucking country needs to finally be where it deserves to be on a geopolitical stage. Thankfully Russia's best puppet who got elected by that idiocracy is doing his best to make sure other nations manage to get themselves less addicted to America's bullshit.
