American pie Actress Jasmine Mooney shares harrowing experience after being detained by ICE at U.S.-Mexico Border

Jasmine Mooney, known for her role in the American Pie movies, has opened up about a frightening and painful experience she recently went through. While trying to renew her work visa, Mooney was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers at the U.S.-Mexico border. She described the situation as one of the most inhumane things she has ever experienced.
According to Variety, Mooney was attempting to cross back into the United States through San Diego, California. She was there to meet her lawyer and work on renewing her visa. However, instead of being allowed to continue the process, ICE detained her. The actress told reporters that she was shocked by how she was treated, calling the experience a “deeply disturbing psychological experiment.”
Mooney spoke to KGTV 10, a news station in San Diego, about the details of her time in detention. She said she was forced to sleep on a mat in a cold cell for two and a half days. There were no pillows or blankets provided, and she was given only a piece of aluminum foil to wrap around herself for warmth. “It was like being wrapped up like a corpse,” she said. “Never in my life have I witnessed anything so cruel.”
The actress also mentioned that the conditions of the detention center were so bad that she refused to eat the food served there. As a result, she said she lost a lot of weight during the ordeal.
At one point, Mooney claimed she was transferred along with 30 other women to another detention center in Arizona. The transfer took place in the middle of the night, and she described being shackled and forced to stay awake for 24 hours straight during the move.
Although officials have not given an official reason for her arrest, some people believe it might be connected to her business. Mooney is a co-founder of a company called Holy! Water, which makes drinks containing “full-spectrum hemp.” This association has led to speculation that her involvement with the company may have triggered extra scrutiny at the border.
Jasmine Mooney’s story has raised concerns about how ICE treats people in detention, especially those with legal reasons for entering the country.
