Canadian citizen describes her ‘nightmare’ 12 day ICE detention that came without warning

Canadian citizen Jasmine Mooney says she was detained by ICE without explanation while attempting to apply for a new work visa. She recounts her experience in detention to Katy Tur, saying no one spoke to her about her case while she was there and that there were other women being held who had been there far longer than her.

Musings

Half remembered, half wandering day dreams

Hours at a time suspended

Consciously awakening as I’m nearly asleep

  A small flame burns

A brilliant candle in a chaotic void

Somehow still clinging to life

After all these years of neglect

  Sensations dim, emotions encroach

Repressed dimensions of personality re-surface

Alive at last, gasping on that first breathe

Frightened, ashamed, too…
