DALTON, Ga. — A 19-year-old college student from Dalton--who was wrongfully pulled over in a traffic stop--will soon be released from ICE custody.

Ximena Arias-Cristobal's immigration bond hearing was held Wednesday.

The judge granted Ximena a $1,500 bond. Her attorney, Dustin Baxter, tells us...

"The family will pay the bond ASAP and Ximena will be home with her family tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

The hearing was originally set for Tuesday, but had to be rescheduled due to an outage at Stewart Detention Center.

Her attorney, Dustin Baxter, tells us, while they don't have another hearing scheduled, "It would be remarkable if it is before mid 2026."

Baxter also said:

The important thing is their case will no longer be on the rocket docket or the detained docket. We're kind of got a few things in the pipeline. We're trying to develop ways that we can keep her here long term. We'll see what happens.

Meantime, both of Arias-Cristobal’s parents tell us they’re overjoyed that their daughter will soon be home.

During our sit down interview with José and Ndahitha, Ximena called her mother, and we got to speak with her just a couple of hours after that bond hearing.

Ximena says her time in ICE detention has been difficult, but she is thankful to God and her community for getting her through.

Watch:

"I'm feeling super happy, joyful, excited, blessed. I'm really I'm really happy that everything's coming out the way it is," Ximena says.

When we asked Ximena about the support she has received from the community...

"I want to thank them so much. Without them, I feel none of this would have been possible, their support has helped me, not only personally, but it has helped my family as well, and I'm thankful for them, and may God bless all of them."

Ximena’s mother tells us..

“I’m just really happy that my daughter is coming home, I just want to hug her. 15 days without feeling her warmth, her skin and hear her voice, now I just need her home.”

Ximena is expected to return home to Dalton Thursday night.

Arias-Cristobal was arrested earlier this month after an officer claimed she turned right on a red light in front of a 'no turn on red' sign.

But after review of dash cam footage, the Dalton City Attorney says they discovered that the officer had pulled over the wrong vehicle.

Dalton Police dropped the traffic charges against Ximena Arias-Cristobal.

However, that traffic stop revealed to police that Arias-Cristobal was driving without a license and was not a U.S. citizen.

She was taken into ICE custody at the Stuart Detention Center in Columbus, Tennessee.

Her father, Jose Arias-Tovar, recently bonded out of that same facility.On Wednesday he told us:

"We'll continue to finish the transition so we can be in the country and continue working hard. She's studying at her college and working hard to come out ahead."

Arias-Cristobal's parents came to the Dalton area from Mexico City in 2010, when she was a toddler.

When they came to the US, her family told us Arias-Cristobal was not eligible to register in the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program because it had ended.

Arias-Cristobal is a graduate of Dalton High School and cross country athlete. She was attending Dalton State College before her arrest.

A petition was also started asking the judge to grant Ximena bond. It currently has over 8,000 signatures.

Ximena's attorney tell us they don't expect her to be assigned another court date until 2026.
