In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The incident occurred when a mother was walking with her infant son and their dog. According to reports from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, Jaaskelainen confronted the mother regarding the dog not being on a leash. During this altercation, Jaaskelainen allegedly threw coffee at the mother, the baby, and the family dog. Following the incident, Jaaskelainen was taken into custody and transported to the Volusia County Jail.
ICE lodged the detainer with the Volusia County Jail on November 15, 2025, indicating their intent to take custody of Jaaskelainen upon her release from local custody. Reports suggest Jaaskelainen has been residing in the U.S. without legal status since entering on April 17, 1999, with a tourist visa that required her departure by July 16, 1999. This would mean she has allegedly remained in the country illegally for approximately 26 years.
