'I haven't slept in a while and haven't eaten proper food well, so I'm just really going through the motions,' Jasmine Mooney told Global News after touching down at YVR.
Canadian citizen Jasmine Mooney is still trying to process being back home in B.C. after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained her at the U.S. border in San Diego.
“I haven’t slept in a while and haven’t eaten proper food well, so I’m just really going through the motions,” Mooney told Global News after touching down at Vancouver’s International Airport on the weekend.
“Getting back here was, it’s just been a lot.”
Mooney, originally from Vancouver, tried to enter the U.S. from Mexico at the San Diego border last Monday.
“I was reapplying for my work visa and with no warning about what was about to happen I was taken by ICE,” Mooney told an ABC News 10 San Diego reporter last week from the detention centre where she was being held.
ICE officers enforce federal laws governing border control, customs, trade and immigration.
Mooney was applying for a TN Visa, which is a non-immigrant visa that allows Canadian and Mexican citizens to work in the United States in specific professional occupations.
She is the founder of a water health drink brand and told ABC News 10 San Diego that ICE agents told her she was “unprofessional” because she did not have a proper letterhead.
