Meanwhile, concerns remain within Bernalillo County’s justice system. According to a report from KRQE News, the District Attorney has expressed frustration over suspects violating GPS monitor rules and being released without proper monitoring. One example cited is Jawid Yaqubi, who was accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly threatening family members with a gun in Albuquerque. Despite efforts by the DA’s office to keep him in custody until trial, a judge ordered his release.
