Elvira Arellano, who arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday after leaving her sanctuary to campaign for immigration reform, was arrested around 1:30 p.m. outside Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church where she had been speaking to reporters, said the Rev. Walter Coleman, pastor of Adalberto United Methodist, the Chicago, Illinois, church.

The only person I feel bad for in this situation is the son.

I may seem like a jerk here, but they had to do it. Hiding out in a church to avoid deportation sends the wrong message.

just like they said in the article:

"Just because the woman has gone public and made an issue of the fact that she is defying law doesn't mean the government doesn't have to do its job"

I agree with the above statement

[LozanoJ1985]

This bitch has some nerve, she gets deported once for fraud then she migrates illegally again gets caught dodges her court date takes refuge in a church and pimps her son for a year

[Mithra]

I hope she stays out

What kind of unjust nation stands idly by while it's 'government' enforces the laws of the land? The shame!

I loved how the media labeled her "immigration activist". Only in America.


Anyhow, what's the big deal? She'll be back in a few days.

First of all, I'd hit it.

Now on to the topic. The Hispanic media is gonna go apeshit on this case; even though I'm also hispanic, and feel sad for the people crossing over in order to provide a better future for their family, it's irritating to see one person trying to use her son as a bargaining ship; even more, use religion to force the government to back down.

Enrique Gratas saw through her BS when he first interviewed her.

Its understandable why some desperate Latin Americans would opt for waiting process of migrating legally when the land of opportunity is your neighbor, but when these people start making demands or entitlements its complete BS as well as claiming that they are not aware that they can be separated from their American born children

Instead of deporting illegal felons (sic) they should sentance them to forced labor.
