Dalton, Georgia-Die Local Authorities in Dalton, Georgia, referred to the traffic costs on Monday that prompted the immigration and customs authority to attend a 19-year-old student in Mexic in the USA who has lived since her 4-year life.
Ximena Arias Cristobal, which is without permission in the country, was taken in ice custody in Dalton after a traffic stop in Dalton on May 5, where she lives with her family. The local police quoted her because she had made an improper turn and had a driving license before she booked her to the WHITFIELD County prison in Dalton, where she was picked up by ICE officers.
However, the police authority of Dalton and the city's public prosecutor announced on Monday that they had checked the dashboard camera recordings of the traffic stops and found that the official had stopped the wrong vehicle. Officials said the vehicle that made the improper turn similar to the truck that Arias Cristobal drove.
Arias Cristobal is now facing the deportation and, according to the agency's online system, remains arrested for the persecution of prisoners in the ICE Health Anstalt in Stewart in Lumpkin, Georgia. Her father, Jose Francisco Arias Tovar, is also held there. ICE arrested him last month after a traffic disability, his family said.
“Ms. Cristobal had incredibly happy to grow up in a beautiful part of the world – Dalton, Georgia,” said MP Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican Congressman, to whose district Dalton belongs. “While the local Dalton officers dropped their charges, the facts remain: it illegally drove without a license and has no legal basis to stay in the United States.”
“I am grateful that the Trump government maintain our nation's immigration laws and hold families together. It is the right one,” said Greene.
In a statement on CBS News on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security announced that the facts of his case have not changed, despite the dismissal of traffic costs that triggered the detention of the teenager.
“Both father and daughter were illegal in this country and have to face the consequences,” said DHS and asked Arias Cristobal and her father to take over the Trump government $ 1,000 incentive for migrants to avert themselves.
ICE did not immediately respond to inquiries about comments on what measures, if at all, respond to the decision of the authorities in Dalton to take the traffic violations against Arias Cristobal.
In a statement before the announcement of Monday, Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesman for the Ministry of Homeland Protection, Arias Cristobal as a “illegal foreigner” who admitted “to illegally enter the United States”. McLaughlin said Arias Cristobal's father, Arias Tovar, “had stipulated himself that he was illegal in the country.”
Federal civil servants have not denied that Arias Cristobal and her father are missing criminal records.
“[The] The family will be able to return to Mexico together, “said McLaughlin in her explanation.” Mr. Tovar had enough opportunity to look for a legal path to citizenship. He decided against it. We do not ignore the rule of law. “
“My family is a good family”
According to her family, Arias Cristobal came to the USA in 2010 and completed the Daltons High School last year. She did not qualify for the postponed campaign for arrivals in children or Daca for other “dreamers” without papers who came to the USA as a minor because she arrived in June 2007 after the Cutoff date of Directive 2007.
Arias Cristobal calls home every day from icing.
“I think the most difficult part is to be torn away from each other,” she said on Mother's Day in a call.
In the meantime, their two sisters, both American citizens, fear their mother, who is also undocumented.
“My family is a good family … they are not criminals. They could have come here illegally, but they came here to fulfill their dreams,” said Aurora Arias Cristobal.
During a press conference on Monday, Chris Crossser, the deputy police chief Dalton, expressed regret about his agency's mistake. But he said he couldn't think how Eis should treat Arias Cristobal's case in the new information in the future. He said local officials had informed their lawyers about the charged charges, but no ice cream.
“It is a very regrettable place where we are here that we ended up in this place with the way this unfolded and how it turned out,” said Crossser, adding that an internal review of the incident continues.
Arias Cristobal's lawyers said that their client would probably remain in ice custody for the time being, even after the indictment was dismissed, since the federal officials hold them because they are in the United States without legal permission. They said they had planned a hearing for next week.
Arias Cristobal said she was afraid that she could not stay in the USA, and added: “My life is here and I'm afraid that I will start in a country that I don't know from the front.”
Your arrest is one of several top -class cases of undocumented immigrants who were arrested during the Trump administration of ice cream, even though she lives in the country for many years and has no criminal history.
“There was an uprising of heartache for our community because many people felt that they were pursuing the hard criminals, and unfortunately good people on this topic will be about the laundry,” said Kasey Carpenter, a Republican legislator who represents Dalton in Georgia.
Shortly after President Trump took up his office, his administration dramatically expanded who was exposed to the arrest and deportation, and reversed the rules of the bid era, which largely restricted the ice operations to the arrest of serious criminal, national security threats and recent arrivals in the United States.
While the Trump government officials have announced that the arrest of dangerous people who are illegally in the United States are prioritized, they have emphasized that no one is protected from deportation if they are missing valid immigration documents.
