Ximena Arias-Cristobal, a 19-year-old college student in Georgia who was mistakenly detained by immigration authorities and then taken to a federal detention center, was granted bond nearly three weeks after her arrest.

Arias-Cristobal was pulled over on May 5 after allegedly running a red light in Dalton. However, a review of police dashcam footage revealed that she had not been driving the vehicle involved in the traffic violation. Instead, the officer had stopped the wrong truck.
