The BC woman returns home after being arrested by US immigration officers

The mother of a BC woman, who was arrested for almost two weeks by immigration officers in the United States, says her daughter is back on the ground.

Alexis Eagles confirmed on Saturday that her daughter Jasmine Mooney landed at Vancouver International Airport around midnight and returned to her house in the city.

Eagles said she was at the airport to greet her 35-year-old daughter together with Mooney friends.

In conversation with CBC News on Thursday, Eagles said her daughter, who grew up in Yukon and lived in BC until last year, had been in the care of US immigration officers since March 3 when she was denied her visa when she tried to join Mexico in California.

She said that Mooney, a businesswoman and former actress, was accommodated in a cell under “inhumane” conditions in which 30 people with limited bathroom facilities were kept.

In a statement on CBC News on Thursday, the US immigration and customs authority said that Mooney was arrested in the States because of “non -legal documents”.

Mooney was processed in accordance with the executive regulation of President Donald Trump, who “had undergone all extraterrestrials in violation of the US immigration law”, the enforcement authority announced.

On Thursday, BC Prime Minister David EBy said that he asked the Canadian government to do everything through diplomatic channels to ensure its return.

Eby said, although he did not know the details of the case, it reinforced the fear of the Canadians about their southern neighbors, who came from the current rancor in relationships between the USA and Canada.

“The type of our relationship is currently so stressed that we all ask ourselves what to do with our relatives who work in the States?” Said Eby.

Eagles said that she had already found that she “would not travel to the states for the foreseeable future” in response to the actions of the Trump government, but her daughter’s ordeal had “arrested her mindset”.
