Laura Barron-Lopez:
Last month in Dalton, Georgia, 19-year-old college student Ximena Arias-Cristobal became the latest target of Trump’s agenda. After being pulled over for a traffic violation she didn’t commit, Arias-Cristobal was handed over to Immigration Customs Enforcement agents and detained for 17 days.
Her arrests sparked protests and support from the community and the charges were ultimately dropped. Arias-Cristobal, who was brought to the U.S. illegally when she was 4 years old, was released on bond and faces deportation to Mexico.
Ximena joins me now to share her story.
Ximena, thank you so much for talking to us.
