Just saw her on TV and she's pretty good looking. Part of the whole sympathy deal for this invader. ICE said she is deportable at anytime and Church sanctuary customs do not apply to ICE.
"ICE said she is deportable at anytime and Church sanctuary customs do not apply to ICE."
As I was just saying to JustPiper, if this is the case, then IMO, it is possible that this is all a set up, intentionally meant to build a huge momentum of sympathy for the illegals and the staging of an "Elian moment", courtesy of our OBL D.C. Leadership.
Today they said they will not be stymied by all the publicity, she WILL be arrested

Her detractors criticize her as a newly minted media hound, working the television cameras, with rosary beads in hand at the Methodist church, for the same opportunity to stay in America every one of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants seek.
The truth lies somewhere in the shadows between Arellano's life in Mexico and the several years she worked and raised her son in the United States under a false Social Security number.
Arellano's critics, however, see a woman using her activist skills, along with her son, to get special treatment in spite of having broken the law.
U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez wrote a letter to President Bush urging him to intervene on Arellano's behalf to block the illegal immigrant's deportation.
Gutierrez introduced a private relief bill for Arellano in April 2005. As of Wednesday night, Gutierrez's office was still waiting for a response from the White House Congressional Affairs office.
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, who has been a supporter of immigrants in Arellano's situation, expressed his support of comprehensive immigration reform, but had some reservations about this case.
"I can't ... take one person out of the hundreds of thousands who are in exactly the same situation and call them out for special treatment," Obama said in Springfield. "That just wouldn't be fair. That's not how we do things ... here in the United States."
Considered a fugitive
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Tim Counts maintains Arellano is considered a fugitive and will be arrested and deported at a future time and date, regardless of where she is residing.
"We have the authority to arrest anyone in violation of U.S. law anywhere in the United States," said Counts.
