A Native American woman born in Phoenix was wrongly flagged for deportation at an Iowa jail after an ICE detainer mix-up, sparking outrage and calls for accountability.

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.

    The constitution does not grant the right to defendants to ramble on endlessly on unrelated topics. I get it, you watched some youtube videos where the judge let them ramble and think it must be required. You shouldn’t believe everything you see on youtube. It’s entertainment, not facts. Sometimes it’s both, but not often.

        Sure I did. But a judge doesn’t have to hold a person in contempt if there is no value to it. So that line didn’t matter. Judges have an upsurd amount of latitude on what and how they do things.
