MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) — A Cobb County grand jury has indicted a Georgia college student and illegal immigrant on a felony charge of making a false statement. The Marietta Daily Journal reports that Kennesaw State University student Jessica Colotl was indicted Thursday.

Colotl's case gained a lot of attention after she was stopped for a minor traffic violation last spring, arrested for driving without a license and nearly deported.

Officials in the sheriff's office say Colotl gave deputies a false address and telephone number when she was being booked.

Does anybody else remember,"Jessica's case is yet another outrageous example of the unaccountable local enforcement of immigration laws in Cobb County gone awry," said Azadeh Shahshahani, ACLU of Georgia's national security/immigrants' rights project director.

Another quote,"Sheriff Warren has embarked on a witch hunt, wasting money and county resources for political gain," said Adelina Nicholls of the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights. "This is not about public safety."

She won’t have to pay a dime to lawyers. The lefty lawyers are lining up to represent her for free. You and me, we have to pay lawyerly scum and half the time they eff up the case. That’s been my experience

ICE released Colotl a few days later and deferred action on her case for a year, allowing her to complete her classes.

Isn't that nICE.
