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.
sue.
What will that do and how will it help all of the people in her same position?
It draws massive media attention.
Fair enough.
They’re ignoring the courts. What will suing do when there’s nobody enforcing the ruling when you “win”?
You can sue for false imprisonment and other stuff I’m sure. Shouldn’t be too hard to win in California, especially if her green card was valid when she was taken.
Okay. Say you do that and you win.
What next? California can’t make them pay you damages.
You could get state or federal payments. But the main purpose is to get it in the news
Who’s gonna make them pay you?
The rest of the government isn’t though
If the executiv branch doesn’t cooperate, that’s the end of it.
The Courts power ultimately means nothing is the executive branch doesn’t execute.
Sue? Make red the color of year.
this. the system is broken. the DOJ is owned. trump et al are above the law. they knew going in that the entire charade only operates under the threat of violence and they currently have a monopoly on that. if you don’t have stock in violence, you don’t have a place at the table. we all need to buy some stock.
