DHS defends ICE detainment of Georgia college student who violated traffic laws: 'Not ignoring rule of law'

  • On May 5, 2025, 19-year-old college student Ximena Arias-Cristobal was detained by ICE after a traffic stop in Dalton, Georgia, for driving without a license and making an improper turn.
  • Her detention followed her and her father's undocumented status, with her family explaining she could not apply for DACA as its program closed before she was eligible.
  • Ximena and her father, Jose Francisco Arias-Tovar, who was stopped for speeding without a license nearby in Tunnel Hill, are now held at Stewart Detention Center near Columbus, Georgia.
  • A GoFundMe established by a family friend has raised over $61,000 to cover legal fees, while local representatives and attorneys pursue bond hearings and advocate for their release.
  • The Department of Homeland Security stated the detainment enforces immigration laws and that the family will be allowed to return to Mexico together, amid concerns about due process and community support.
