Elvira Arellano has slipped out of Chicago and apparently is headed toward
Los Angeles, where an immigration march is being planned for Saturday, a
West Coast march organizer said today.

She had announced plans this week to travel to Washington next month.

Arellano, an illegal Mexican immigrant, became a lightning rod in the
country's immigration debate after taking refuge inside a Humboldt Park
church last summer. Just two days ago, she announced she was leaving the
church and was heading to Washington, D.C., to participate in a Sept. 12
prayer and fast vigil on the National Mall.

If all goes according to plan, she will be joined in Los Angeles by her U.S.
citizen son, Saul, 8, who flew ahead with a family friend, a West Coast
organizer said Friday.

"That is a courageous, courageous woman, absolutely," said Javier Rodriguez,
whose group, the March 25 Coalition, is coordinating the planned downtown
Los Angeles march.

Arellano, 32, apparently left the Adalberto United Methodist Church on
Thursday night, shortly after the church locked its doors and stopped
receiving visitors, announcing a period of meditation and prayer. A source
privy to the plans for Arellano's departure who requested anonymity said she
left in a car sometime after 8 p.m.

Emma Lozano, one of Arellano's closest advisers, wouldn't confirm Arellano
was en route to Los Angeles.

She must be arrested ,she is a federal felon does anybody have any connections, nobody will listen to me.
