MEXICO CITY (AP) - Lawmakers in Mexico are getting involved in the case of an illegal immigrant who was deported by the United States.

A Mexican Senate committee is urging President Felipe Calderon (fay-LEE'-pay kahl-duh-ROHN') to send a diplomatic note protesting the deportation of Elvira Arellano (el-VEE'-ruh ah-ray-AH'-noh). She's the activist who had taken refuge in a Chicago church for a year.

The committee also approved a scholarship to help her 8-year-old U.S.-born son, Saul, who is staying in the United States.

Arellano became a national symbol for illegal immigrant parents by defying her deportation order and speaking out from her sanctuary in Chicago.

Last Sunday, shortly after she had addressed an immigrant rights rally in a Los Angeles church, she was arrested and deported to Tijuana.
