This is the best news I've heard in a week. Party time!
THANKS FOR THE FIREWORKS, APRIL AND JEAN

WOW!
This is great news. That arrogant S.O.B. must have been so confident that they were going to continue the hands off policy with her... :D :!:
Great news, fantastic!
I just read the story on Fox news and I'm glad they put in about her being illegal, etc. etc. What is really scary is the fact that she was working on airplanes at an airport. Since this news is getting spread about, maybe it will make a lot of sympathizers think twice about allowing illegals to stay and giving them amnesty. Our airports MUST be secure against stuff like this, if she got in to work on planes what is to stop terrorists?!

Los Angeles --
An illegal immigrant who sought sanctuary in a Chicago church for a year to avoid deportation and separation from her 8-year-old American son was arrested Sunday, the church's pastor said.
• Story: Illegal Immigrant Who Fled to Chicago a No-Show for LA Rally
Elvira Arellano was arrested before 3 p.m. outside Our Lady Queen of Angels church on L.A.'s historic Olvera Street where she had been speaking to reporters, said the Rev. Walter Coleman, pastor of Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago where she sought sanctuary.
Coleman said he was with Arellano when she was detained, but declined to provide other details.
"We're trying to determine her situation right now," he said.
It was unclear what law enforcement agency had taken Arellano into custody.
A call to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was not immediately returned.
The 32-year-old Arellano arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday, leaving her sanctuary for the first time in a year to campaign for immigration reform.
Arellano has become a symbol of the struggles of illegal immigrant parents and a source of controversy. She had said Saturday she was not afraid of being taken into custody by immigration agents.
"From the time I took sanctuary the possibility has existed that they arrest me in the place and time they want," she said in Spanish. "I only have two choices. I either go to my country, Mexico, or stay and keep fighting. I decided to stay and fight."
Arellano came to Washington state illegally in 1997. She was deported to Mexico shortly after, but returned and moved to Illinois in 2000, taking a job cleaning planes at O'Hare International Airport.
She was arrested in 2002 at O'Hare and later convicted of working under a false Social Security number. She was to surrender to authorities last August.
She sought refuge at the storefront church on Chicago's West Side Aug. 15, 2006. She had not left the church property until deciding to be driven to Los Angeles, Coleman said.

So, you admit that the USA is not your country.....yet your preference is to stay in this alien nation and FIGHT?? Fight for what? Against whom? This mindset is VERY telling of the illegal immigrant population.
