The family and friends of a Birmingham woman are pleading with the community to help them keep her in Alabama after she was detained this week during a traffic stop.
“On the morning of Tuesday August 5th, Giovanna [Martinez] was driving to work when a Leeds officer pulled her over for going 1 mile over the speed limit,” reads a GoFundMe set up by her brother Dilan Hernandez to cover Martinez’s legal expenses.
“What should have been a regular traffic stop, turned into something much worse as an ICE agent arrived closely thereafter. In less than an hour she was processed and taken into ICE custody.”
Leeds police on Thursday issued a statement disputing that account.
Chief Paul Irwin said the traffic stop was made on Tuesday at about 7:44 a.m. on Interstate 20 when an unmarked Leeds vehicle was passed by a Honda sedan “at a high rate of speed of over 80 mph.
“The vehicle came within feet of striking other vehicles and erratically changed lanes. A marked unit with the Leeds Police Department stopped the vehicle,” Irwin’s statement continued.
“The driver did not have a driver’s license, but instead identified herself with a Mexico issued (identification) card. Pursuant to our policy, Detectives contacted our federal partners, who informed Detectives that the female was in the United States of America illegally.
“Our federal partners responded to the scene and took custody of the driver. This vehicle was stopped because she posed a danger to the public by driving in a reckless manner.”

Martinez had her own LLC and was working with HICA, an immigration advocacy organization based in Birmingham.
In a release Thursday, HICA wrote that Martinez is a “valued member of the ¡HICA! community."
“As an organization, we are proud to work with her and her business, Juntos Coaching and Consulting, to empower youth across Alabama,” the release says.
“Giovanna is not only a trusted community partner, she is a role model,” wrote HICA CEO Dr. Carlos E. Alemán.
Feel-good story of the day, and it’s not even 1AM yet! :-)
Illegal immigrant is a “role model” says socialist democrat in 2025.
These same idiots would condemn us doing the same behavior in other countries.
Deport her.
We have US citizens who are homeless, crippled and in need of psychiatric care.
We have our military veterans and our own senior citizens to care for.
US citizens are not getting health care when they should because the system is flooded with non-citizens.
Entering the US illegally is against the law.
They all need to self deport or be deported.
They shouldn’t be given 1000$ to leave either because they’ll turn that into a racket too.
Good. Loud mouth and agitators should move to the head of the line
Oh shoot - I left out the link … Thanks !
They aren’t rounding them up fast enough....
they still swarm the parking lots of Home depot, Lowe’s and Walmart
Drop kick her ass back to Mexico.
GOOD!
They don’t have to like it. They just have to live with it.
Hispanic and Immigrant Center of Alabama (¡HICA!) sounds like a place that really needs a visit by ICE.
Twice a week they flood our local Walmart. Baskets full to the brim.
“HICA, an immigration advocacy organization based in Birmingham.”
Now she gonna learn about BOHICA.
“Twice a week they flood our local Walmart. Baskets full to the brim.”
I think it’s everywhere. I’m in a poor rural Kansas county. I’ve seen that in our Walmart. Obvious “migrants” with carts filled to the top, while our legacy citizens have a few meager things they can barly afford in theirs.

1 mile over the speed limit is the first lie to try to grift Go Fund Me money. The cop does not know who is in the car when she was stopped. She was stopped for reckless driving and this dirtbag is trying to convert the narrative that she was singled out as an illegal and stopped with speeding 1 mile over the limit as a pretext. Deport the lying brother too,
From ¡HICA! to ¡BOHICA!

They’re all squatters.
Kick her the hell out. What don’t these retards understand about being an American citizen?
