Illegal Immigrant Advocate for Families Is Deported
By RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20 — The federal authorities said Monday that the deporting of a Mexican woman who had sought refuge in churches while being an advocate for illegal immigrant families had not signaled a crackdown on religious groups that provide aid to illegal immigrants.

The woman, Elvira Arellano, 32, had defied a federal deportation order by spending much of the past year in a Chicago church seeking to raise awareness of how deportations can separate families. Ms. Arellano left the church over the weekend to visit churches around the country, joined by her 8-year-old son, Saul, who was born in the United States.

On Sunday, after she spoke at Our Lady Queen of Angels, a Roman Catholic church in downtown Los Angeles, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stopped her car a few blocks away and arrested her.

Jim Hayes, the immigration agency’s Los Angeles field office director, said Ms. Arellano’s arrest was not a “message to the sanctuary movement as much as it is a message to criminal illegal aliens who are fugitives, that we are going to continue to target them.â€

It's too bad she didn't put up a fight, tasers work wonders.

"On Monday, her son was taken to Tijuana to visit her while supporters planned their next move, which they said would include seeking a Congressional bill authorizing her return."

And what basis would they have, will it be the false SSN or her illegally returning after being deported.

(MOD EDIT).

They come here illegally and work so freakin hard to change US law to suit themselves. Why don't they have the smarts to change Mexico instead ? Makes sense, thats what our forefathers did.

Sure, and after we make a new law to legalize just her then we will also generate support for a new law which will authorize Congress to hand millions of dollars over to my family, cause, we really need it!!
