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.

    Amazing your wrote several paragraphs and not once did you justify the cost or length of 2 months in jail.

    Sorry but being annoying, wrong, and stupid isn’t a good reason

      There’s nothing that justifies them spending 2 months in jail.

      It’s a thing they put themselves through. They get themselves arrested for obstuction, and then delay everything by continuing the sovcit nonsense.

      I’ve watched videos of sovcits somehow managing to make their arraignment (a normally short procedure where you simply get told the alleged charges, the potential penalties, get asked if you understand them, and what do you plead, and whether you wish to proceed for a jury or a bench trial) last hours (plural)

      Sovcits usually decide to go for jury trial (because you can’t make law from the bench or something…), which, well, take time. Time they spent in jail, because they were arrested.

        Yeah still not very convincing. Can you demonstrate they were also stinky? Then I may consider your point.

        But in all seriousness, there’s no reason to keep them. In prison. Release them from jail and if they don’t show up issue a warrant. This isn’t a big deal at all. I’d rather someone get away with having a suspended license than spending tax payer money on this.

        Plus let’s back up for a second. We have no evidence that this is even what happened in this case. You got on your soap box rather quickly

          I said “solid chance they might just be a sovcit.”, then had to explain to people what a sovcit is and why they spend stupid amount of time in jail for things nobody should spend time in jail.

          She might very well not be a sovcit. I wouldn’t bet on it though. You don’t spend that long in jail over a suspended license unless you do something excessively stupid in the process.

          But in all seriousness, there’s no reason to keep them. In prison. Release them from jail and if they don’t show up issue a warrant.

          Sovcit are not in jail because of the suspended license, but for the obstruction charges. They then stay in there because legal things take time, and the fact they do everything you shouldn’t be doing if you want to get out of jail.

          It’s stupid, but it is what it is.
