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.”
…
So, let me get this straight-
a rabble-rousing, criminal illegal immigrant, welfare benefits, thieving invader who was caught breaking our traffic laws, didn’t follow the immigration law in America and has made it a point to educate other fellow invaders on how to illegally reside in our country is being called an ‘advocate’.
Got it.
She has degrees from American universities - how were these paid for???? Also, she has a family of possible illegals who are here as well - why hasn’t this been addressed????
These ilk come to our country and use our laws agains us to undermine us from within. GET THEM ALL OUT.
When will bounties be put out???? These people aren’t taking the $1000 and leaving so give the money to Americans for each illegal we report that gets deported.
Planes leave alla time, Giovanna...self deport and be on one!
Maybe.
I’m on an iPac, latest iOS updates.
EVERY AI.com or your MSN link takes me to a page full of “tabs” none of which takes me to anything more than another page of tabs.
I can never get to the linked articles.
Is it just me?

precaffeinated, blurred vision.
“pulled her over for going 1 mile over the speed limit,” reads a GoFundMe”
…I guess they wouldn’t raise much money telling the truth huh?
It’s much easier to open the border and let millions of people in than it is to marshall the manpower to get them back out again, especially when filthy leftist judges ignore the Supreme Court to try to keep them here.
It was a lot more than going 1 mph over the limit.
ICE would have a great time at the Milestone Wal-Mart in Germantown, Maryland. I was there a number of times in 2023, and the place sounded like the international terminal in an airport. Lots of different languages spoken and peoples shopping inside.
Deport more…MORE.
Seriously we need a 5 year total moratorium (except carefully considered refugees ..real ones) on immigration.So we can have time to deport all the bad ones and let some assimilation, adjustment occur.
LEGAL immigration is excessively high…much less illegal.
Sounds like she organized protests
BUT!! she had DREAMS!!!
Hasta La Vista!! NOT!
The piggies don’t know how “heartbreaking” and “discouraging” it is to watch foreign freeloader Socialists riding on the backs of U.S. Taxpayers while trashing our country, burning our flag and murdering Americans.
Pronto.
Preferably in the middle of the night.
Exactly, I’m fed up with spoiled brat lefty crybullies who act like they’re special and life owes them everything. The sooner the lefties realize that they’re not so special and life owes them nothing the better.
Another miggy advocate sob story. I’ll bet all of her daughters have cancer.
Add FAFO to the list 😂🤡
