The Georgia college student in federal custody who could be deported after she was pulled over by local cops should have never been stopped, officials admitted Monday.
Mexican national Ximena Arias-Cristobal was wrongly accused by Dalton police of making an illegal turn at a red light after an officer confused her with another driver on May 5, city leaders said in a press release.
During the stop, authorities said the 19-year-old, who is in the country illegally, didn’t have a proper driver’s license and was taken into custody at the scene and later detained by immigration enforcement authorities.
While all charges have been dropped by Dalton police, Arias-Cristobel’s lawyer told The Post it’s “too little, too late” for his client, who remains in custody Monday.
“It’s super maddening,” said attorney Dustin Baxter of Kuck Baxter Immigration.
“We’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and say there was no ill intent on the part of this police officer, it’s just heartbreaking that a mistake by a police officer cost this person her freedom ultimately and may cost her her residency in the United States.”
Arias-Cristobel’s legal turmoil began when police believed she failed to adhere to a “no turn on red” sign and was then found to not have a proper driver’s license, according to an arrest report.
She told an officer she had an international driver’s license, the report states.

I’m surprised that she did not even have a student visa. Wouldn’t that have applied in this sort of situation given that she is a college student?
If she didn’t have a “proper” driver’s license, then how did she buy car insurance?
Did she have car insurance or not?
It’s actually an International Driver’s Permit (IDP):

What the heck is Cuck Baxter Immigration?
I’d call that a fortuitous mistake.
Adios, amiga.
>>Her father, Jose Francisco Arias-Tovar, has also been in that same federal facility ahead of possible deportation since last month after he was pulled over for allegedly speeding.
Family reunification is a joyful thing.
” it’s just heartbreaking that a mistake by a police officer cost this person her freedom ultimately and may cost her her residency in the United States.”
Heartbreaking to her, I’m sure. But not really for me.
“What the heck is Cuck Baxter Immigration?”
A law firm specializing in immigration issues?
Kuck offers “expert immigration legal help”.
So they pulled over the wrong vehicle. so what? Plenty of cases have been solved by a ‘lucky break’.
If I get pulled over because my car looks like another car suspected in a robbery and they find that I an DUI can they not charge me with DUI? Me thinks Mr. Kuck is out to make a name for himself in the illegals world.
Sometimes you just get lucky.

A mistake by the police officer didn’t cost her freedom nor her residency. An error by her family to enter and live illegally in a foreign country cost the family their freedom and residency here. End of story.

Urinalist weasel.
She lost her residency cuz she had no legal residency and was here illegally. THAT is why she’s deported. Quit blame shifting and trying to make the lawbreaker the victim.
She's here illegally. That's the ONLY thing that matters in this story. She needs to go home.

No...no it isn’t. Serendipity is a good thing! Get the whole Hee Haw Arias-Cristobol family..Where’s Mom? She should want to self deport with them....We should let her.
I get one quite often. I get it at the AAA Travel services. It covers me driving in most countries. However, it is only good in addition to my state driver’s license.
“a mistake by a police officer cost this person her freedom”
The “mistake” was hers when she came here illegally.
Timothy McVeigh could have said the same about his traffic stop.
