(CBS) CHICAGO Illegal immigrant turned immigration activist Elvira Arellano is risking arrest by taking a trip to Los Angeles, but she is taking precautions.

Arellano and her son drove to L.A. for an immigration rally Saturday. She didn't go to the event; she's hiding out in a church -- the same way she avoided deportation in Chicago.

As CBS 2’s Rafael Romo reports, Arellano traveled from Adalberto Methodist Church in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood to another church in an L.A. Mexican neighborhood.

She chose not to participate in an immigration march attended by hundreds in downtown Los Angeles at noon, sending instead her 8-year-old son, Saul, a citizen of the United States.

She traveled to California by car where she was to meet with immigration activists to talk about her upcoming trip to Washington, D.C.

“Elvira chose to go to LA as a way of… to promote the Washington trip and she's also… she did it so she can bring to the light and other areas the crisis of the families being separated right now,â€

Geeeeeeze!!!!!!!!!

Someone on another blog earlier today predicted that she'd be in another church by nightfall. I didn't think so, but I'm wrong.

Here we go again for another year!!!!

Some activist, hiding in another church Typical criminal fugitive behavior.

BTW: what happened to the thousands, maybe millions, of folks they expected at the rally?
