The 24-year-old was born in Phoenix and is a member of Arizona’s Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. She was booked into the Polk County Jail in Des Moines, Iowa, where she currently lives, in September for allegedly driving with a suspended license. Jacobo was scheduled to be released on Nov. 11, but what should have been a routine process was complicated and delayed by an erroneously issued ICE detainer. She was ultimately allowed to leave just before 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 12.

    Eh, I don’t think they give a shit about the natives to be honest. There isn’t enough of them to warrant the attention.

    This is just regular old racism. Anyone with a slight tan to their skin can be whatever the authorities decide they are. Once that is normalized they can expand it to include other ‘undesirables’ until eventually everyone is included.
