A couple hundred people protested in Dalton against the detainment of student and longtime resident, Ximena Arias-Cristobal, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. Arias-Cristobal was arrested by local police during a traffic stop and sent to an ICE detention center in South Georgia shortly after, because she does not have valid U.S. citizenship. Whitfield County law enforcement has one of the longest standing partnerships with federal immigration enforcement in Georgia.
