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.”

an illegal alien illegal alien advocate ... she was a twofer: both a noun AND an adjective!
So an illegal alien driving without a driver’s license and doubtless without insurance was gotten off the roads and will now be deported?
That’s wonderful news!
I think perhaps the confusion might stem not from poor writing by the article's author, but from over-use of cop jargon by Chief Paul Irwin. Everything that moves on wheels is a "vehicle" ... with no identifying words. A beer can is a "container of alcohol" without specifying the actual contents. etc.
Buh bye.
Deport her. So sick of their entitlement.
You’re going to find Alligator Alcatraz even more heartbreaking and disgusting. Maybe it’s time to self-deport.
AIDING-—ABETTING-—HARBORING
CHARGE HER & INCARCERATE HER UNTIL DEPORTATION
HAVE ZERO ILLEGALS IN MY LOCAL LOWE’S PARKING LOT. NONE.
I HAVE CEASED GOING TO HOME DEPOT DUE TO THE ILLEGALS SWARMING ME WHEN I GET THERE & WHEN I ATTEMPT TO LEAVE.
AM SINGLE & FEMALE-—MADE ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
MY LOCAL LOWE’S ===NONE OF SUCH PROBLEM
ONE EXAMPLE: When I bought this property 20+ years ago, I had a 2 page list on copy paper of various small items-—
down to picture hangars.
I went to a Lowe’s in Carson City-— asked a couple of questions at the contractor desk. YOUNG MAN looked at my list & IMMEDIATELY took me under his wing-—marched all the way thru the list-—ALL over the store. COULDN’T HAVE BEEN NICER. I SPENT OVER $600 in just that one trip.
I ABSOLUTELY WILL NEVER DEAL WITH A PARKING LOT FULL OF ILLEGALS.
SHE WAS CLOCKED AT 80.
THE SPEED LIMIT IS 79???????
SURE IT IS......
So she was teaching others how to abuse the system too.
She is an illegalalien. No more information needed.
The roll model rolled too fast.
I remember when criminals used to hide when they were wanted.
Now they actively are immigrant advocates, all the time being illegal.
