A must-read for every Canadian - most especially those with American work or student visas. Powerful testimony about the soul-stripping consequences of being caught up in the American for-profit immigration detention system. Thank you, Ms. Mooney, for bearing witness - and leveraging your privilege to speak for those without voice. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/19/canadian-detained-us-immigration-jasmine-mooney #Canada #ICE #cdnpoli

This is a broken inhumane system, one that predates the second Trump regime. It’s just that up until now, pretty young women from Canada, Germany and Britain weren’t getting caught up in it.

@Paulatics This makes the problems vivid and the profit motives very clear. Abolish ICE!

@Paulatics I wish people working in these places to understand “I don’t know” is such a weak answer and counted on by those willing to exploit workers just doing their jobs.

@Paulatics The USA is a Hyper-Surveillance Police State Dystopia. Abandon all hope ye who enter therein.

@Paulatics @dkmackinnon I am curious: how frequently are devices searched this thorough? I haven't travelled abroad in decades, and US Customs only asked that I power on the device to prove it was what it was. But to search contents?
