Spearfisherman's rare encounter with sea lion prompts full-water rescue
A free-diving spearfisherman was suddenly rendered helpless after a rare encounter with a sea lion Monday morning off San Diego. Thomas Henman, 19, was spearfishing about 200 yards off the La Jolla Children's Pool. He had just speared a sheepshead and went to grab it when a sea lion blindsided him, knocking his mask off. "The sea lion came right over top of me, grabbed, I think the GoPro with its mouth or something, knocked my whole mask off," Henman told ABC 10News. He lost his mask and GoPro, along with his speargun. In the process, his contact lenses were knocked out, prompting him to call the lifeguards for help. "It was definitely like they turned it into like a full-water rescue thing,' Henman told ABC 10News. 'I couldn't see, cause I can't see like 5 feet in front of me, so I didn't want to just come up on the shore, like with the rocks and get swept in.' Henman got a spare mask and went back to retrieve his speargun but couldn't find the GoPro. Also on FTW: Banned item found in Great Smoky Mountains, prompts advisory 'The intermingling of sea lions and people has been a hot topic in La Jolla for years,' ABC 10News reported. 'In 2023, the San Diego City Council voted to close the Point La Jolla bluffs year-round to protect the mammals. That area is between the Children's Pool and La Jolla Cove.' Sierra Club Seal Society Chair Robyn Davidoff told ABC 10News that it is recommended that people stay at least 50 feet from the sea lions. 'I think this is a very unusual situation,' she told ABC 10News. 'We have hundreds of people swimming in the cove every single day, and we rarely have an incident like this.' Most believe that the sea lion was going after the speared fish. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Spearfisher's rare encounter with sea lion prompts full-water rescue

American Pie Actress Jasmine Mooney Spends Two Weeks in ICE Detention Facility
The post American Pie Actress Jasmine Mooney Spends Two Weeks in ICE Detention Facility appeared first on Consequence. Jasmine Mooney, a Canadian citizen who appeared in 2009 film American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, spent nearly two weeks in an ICE detention center after being detained at the Mexican border earlier this month. According to San Diego's ABC 10 News, Mooney was arrested after attempting to enter the US through a border crossing in San Ysidro, Mexico. As she recounted in an interview, her US work visa was initially revoked in November 2024 due to a paperwork issue. At the advice of her lawyer, she recently traveled to Mexico with proof of a new job offer from a US-based company and an application for a new work visa. Instead, Mooney was arrested by immigration officials and held at a detention center where 'I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days,' she told ABC 10 News. Mooney was later transferred to another detention facility to Arizona, a process during which she spent '24 hours wrapped in chains.' After nearly two weeks in captivity, Mooney was finally allowed to return home to Canada this past Saturday. Even now, she says has yet to be given an exact reason for her lengthy detainment. In a statement, a spokesperson for ICE told CBS News that Mooney was processed in accordance with Donald Trump's immigration policies: 'All aliens in violation of U.S. immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the U.S., regardless of nationality,' American Pie Actress Jasmine Mooney Spends Two Weeks in ICE Detention Facility Scoop Harrison Popular Posts JD Vance Booed at Kennedy Center Dropkick Murphys Make On-Stage Wager with Trump Supporter Over Where His Shirt Was Made Documentary Claims Jim Morrison Is Alive, Living in Syracuse Lady Gaga on Meeting Trent Reznor: "I Black Out Every Time I'm in His Presence" Gene Simmons Charging $12,500 To Be His Personal Assistant and Roadie for One Day j-hope of BTS Makes Triumphant Return with Solo Tour "Hope on the Stage": Review Subscribe to Consequence's email digest and get the latest breaking news in music, film, and television, tour updates, access to exclusive giveaways, and more straight to your inbox.

German tourists' ordeal reportedly ending as they are returned from US detention
A German tourist detained by US immigration authorities is due to be deported back to Germany on Tuesday after spending more than six weeks in detention, including eight days in solitary confinement. Jessica Brösche, a 29-year-old tattoo artist from Berlin, will reportedly join Lucas Sielaff, 25, from Bad Brida in Saxony Anhalt, who is reported to have returned to Germany on 6 March, after being arrested at the Mexican border on 18 February before being detained for almost two weeks. The families of the two tourists, who were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) had compared their ordeals to 'a horror film'. Both Germans were held at the Otay Mesa Detention Center, a prison in San Diego, CA. Their cases, followed closely by German consulate staff in the US and the foreign ministry in Berlin, share similarities with the fate of British tourist Rebecca Burke, 28, a graphic artist from Monmouthshire who was handcuffed and taken to a detention facility in Washington state more than eleven days ago while trying to cross into the US on the Canadian border, according to her family. All incidents are being described as evidence of the immigration crackdown in the US since the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Not only has there a crackdown on entries into the US, but the increase in cases has reportedly meant a bureaucratic backlog leading to delays in decisions on cases of those who have been detained. Brösche's mother, Birgit, confirmed to German media on Tuesday reports that her daughter was on her way home. Brösche's friend Nikita Lofving, whom the Berliner had intended to visit in Los Angeles, confirmed to the LA Times she had spoken to her friend. Speaking to a journalist from ABC 10News San Diego in a phone interview on 1 March, Brösche said she had spent eight days in solitary confinement. She said: 'It was horrible. Like, it's really horrible. I just want to get home, you know? I'm really desperate.' Lofving, who had been in constant contact with her friend, said: '[Brösche] says it was like a horror movie. They were screaming in all different rooms. After nine days, she said she went so insane that she started punching the walls and then she's got blood on her knuckles.' The staff at the prison had called a psychologist who wanted to prescribe anti-psychotic medicine to calm her down, but Brösche had refused to take anything, Lofving said. Brösche's mother told the Berlin tabloid BZ: 'I will believe it [her release] only when I am able to take her in my arms.' Brösche had said: 'I just want to get home, you know? I'm really desperate.' CoreCivic, the company that owns the Otay Mesa Detention Center, denied Brösche's claims that she had been in solitary confinement, according to ABC 10News. Brösche and Lofving had attempted to enter the US from Tijuana in Mexico on 25 January. The two were traveling with tattoo equipment. Lofving said that Brösche was arrested and taken away by officers on the border. The US immigration authorities, Ice, assumed Brösche was intending to work illegally in the US, Lofving said. Her friend was in possession of an Esta travel permit. According to Brösche's Instagram profile, she had only intended to stay in LA until mid-February. Germany's foreign ministry confirmed it had worked together with its consulate general in LA to resolve the issue. Sielaff returned to Germany last week after spending two weeks in detention, after his entry permit was cancelled at the Mexican border, amid suspicions by the US authorities that he had remained in the US longer than he was allowed. He was arrested at the border point at San Ysidro on 18 February. He had entered the US on a tourist visa and had subsequently visited Mexico with his girlfriend, Lennon Tyler, where they had taken her dog to the vet. According to Tyler, on their return to the US, Sielaff had incorrectly answered a question as to where he lived, due to his poor grasp of English. He had said Las Vegas, where he was staying with Tyler, his fiancee, when he should have said Germany, where he permanently resides, she said. After two weeks in detention, Sielaff was allowed to leave. His girlfriend said she booked him a flight from San Diego to Munich on 6 March. In an interview with the Swiss daily Tagesanzeiger, Tyler warned people against travelling to the US. 'Don't come here,' she said. 'Especially not if you're on a tourist visa, and especially not over the Mexican border.' US authorities have yet to issue a statement on the German cases. Rebecca Burke's father said on Monday that he was trying to get his daughter out of the detention centre, and had been in touch with the British consulate in San Francisco. He described the conditions in which she was being held as 'horrendous'. She had been travelling on a tourist visa, but was told she should have applied for a working visa as she planned to stay with a family receiving accommodation in exchange for carrying out domestic chores.
