ATLANTA - The immigration issue shot to the forefront in Georgia back in March, when Kennesaw State University student Jessica Colotl was arrested for driving without a license.

Since her parents had brought her here illegally from Mexico when she was 10, Colotl faced deportation.

The federal government has since agreed to give Colotl a year to finish her education.

Colotl's attorney, Jerome Lee stopped by the FOX 5 studios to discuss the Kennesaw State student's case and the move by a judge to block parts of Arizona's controversial illegal immigration law.
