Charges dropped in mistaken traffic stop case against Georgia college student; she remains in ICE custody

  • All traffic-related charges have been dropped against 19-year-old Ximena Arias-Cristobal after her May 5 arrest in Dalton, Georgia, where she was detained by ICE.
  • The charges were dismissed following a police review of dashcam footage proving Arias-Cristobal’s vehicle was not involved in the improper turn for which she was cited.
  • Although cleared of traffic violations, Arias-Cristobal remains in ICE custody facing deportation after authorities determined she is undocumented and has no pending immigration cases.
  • Attorney Dustin Baxter said, "She has babysat for my kids for years" and hopes Arias-Cristobal’s bond hearing on May 20 will lead to her release from detention.
  • The case highlights how minor traffic stops can lead to severe immigration consequences, sparking national attention and community protests advocating for her and her family’s release.
