1.
A 19-year-old Mexican national, Ximena Arias-Cristobal, remains in federal immigration custody following a traffic stop that Dalton, Georgia police have now admitted was made in error. Officials acknowledged that an officer confused Arias-Cristobal's dark gray Dodge truck with a black pickup that allegedly made an illegal turn at a red light. Despite the police department dropping all charges related to the May 5 incident, the college student remains detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
