ATLANTA -- For nearly two years, Jessica Colotl has found herself at the center of Georgia's heated debate over illegal immigration.

In March of 2010, she was pulled over for a traffic stop and found to be in the country illegally. At the time, she was a student at Kennesaw State University. Colotl was granted a one-year deportation deferment so she could finish school.

She just learned Monday that she will be allowed to stay in the United States for another year.

Her original deferment expired when she graduated. Last year, she applied for a second one, and says she will do so again next year.

Under current immigration laws, Colotl says she cannot apply for permanent citizenship because she entered the country illegally. Her parents brought her to the United States from Mexico when she was 11 years old.

KENNESAW, Ga. -- Kennesaw State University said a female student was sexually assaulted at the KSU Place apartments on Idlewood Avenue Friday morning.  She told police the man was wearing a ski mask. 

Later Friday afternoon University respresentaives said they do not believe the assault was sexual in nature.  

The University sent out an alert which said the woman was attacked near her car at around 6 a.m.

University representatives did not answer questions regarding the severity of the attack, why they later changed the definition of it, or what resources are being applied to the investigation. 

The student described her attacker as a black man with dreadlocks, wearing a dark-colored sweater, jeans, colorful Nike tennis shoes and a dark-colored watch. The victim said the man drove a silver car, possibly an older model Honda Civic.

KENNESAW- (WXIA) Kennesaw State University honored the memory of 2008 graduate Jonathan Walsh with a ceremony on campus Friday. Walsh was killed by an explosive device in Afghanistan last month. An honor guard lowered the flags to half staff, and a bugler played taps after a ceremonial roll call was taken. The crowd paid their respects to the Walsh family, where Senator Johnny Isakson was sitting behind them.

"I we would do as good a job in the United States Senate as our soldiers do in the field, we'd have a lot less problems today," Isakson said.

Amy Phillips held up a large American flag for the entire ceremony. She said he had trouble thinking of what the family was going through.
