Wed Mar 19 07:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Canadian Actress Detained for 12 Days at US Border After Visa Issue
**San Diego, CA** – Jasmine Mooney, a 35-year-old Canadian actress known for her role in “American Pie Presents: The Book of Love,” was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for 12 days after a visa application issue at the San Ysidro border crossing. Mooney, who had been offered a marketing job in the US, was initially told she had filed her paperwork incorrectly and should have applied through a US consulate. However, instead of simply being turned away, she was taken into custody.
Mooney described being held in a small cell for two days before being transferred to an ICE detention center near San Diego in shackles and a jumpsuit. She claims she repeatedly stated her intention to return to Canada and was not attempting to enter the US illegally. Her experience highlights concerns over seemingly arbitrary detentions at the US-Mexico border, a trend that has garnered media attention in recent years. Mooney was eventually released and returned to Vancouver. The specifics of her release and the resolution of her visa application remain unclear.
