Next stop, the nation's capitol.
This is absurd!
DEPORT HER and her kid.
IMMEDIATELY!
I guess her Bible doesn’t include Romans 13:1 - 2:
“Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.”

OHH ICE ... YOOOO hoooooo!!!
Have a nice (short) stay in LA, Ms. Arellano.
Illegal immigrants...
the LAST target of law enforcement.
Due to political stupidity by their supervisors.
“I either go to my country, Mexico....”
VERY telling if you ask me. And I thought she wanted to be an American.
LA is a sanctuary city-I believe it was the 1st.
They did not resist swooping in on that little Cuban boy in the dead of night, but they won’t touch this illegal.
So she spent all this time in a church and still can’t speak English?! I’m having a hard time finding any sympathy for her.
GW could stop this.
Regards
We need to demand that ICE pick her up and deport her. Her little boy can go with her to wonderful Mexico if he wants. What is wrong with Homeland Security that they can’t even arrest and deport a person whose movements are tracked by the press?

Anyone know which church?

Chicago Tribune Silent on Illegal Immigration Activist’s History
By Michael M. Bates | August 16, 2006 - 11:13 ET
On the Chicago Tribune’s front page today is the story of an illegal immigrant who’s taken refuge in a Chicago church to avoid deportation. The headline is “Act of faith, defiance” and the article includes a color photo of the woman and her son. Yesterday’s Tribune coverage on the event noted: “The church’s pastor, the Rev. Walter Coleman, said his congregation decided to offer Arellano refuge after praying about her plight.. . . ‘She represents the voice of the undocumented, and we think it’s our obligation, our responsibility, to make a stage for that voice to be heard,’ he said.”
Walter Coleman? Could that be Walter “Slim” Coleman, a longtime left wing activist? Yes, it is.
And what’s interesting is the Tribune makes no mention of the Reverend’s extensive background, much of it documented by the Tribune over the years.
A self-described community organizer, Slim was on the board of a group getting Federal money back in the 70s to provide free lunches to hundreds of poor children each day. Tribune writer Jeff Lyon reported in August of 1979 that an investigation disclosed the real participation was about 70 children a day.
This experience no doubt helped Coleman in becoming a key adviser to Chicago’s Mayor Harold Washington. A Tribune piece in August of 1984 carried the charges of an alderman that Chicago “agreed to give $70,000 to a health clinic operated by the Heart of Uptown Coalition headed by Slim Coleman, a Washington supporter.”
The following year Slim, then identifying himself as a journalist, was provoked by a Washington opponent and leaped to the City Council floor screaming “I’m going to get you” at the alderman. The Tribune’s Robert Davis reported in the June 14, 1985 edition: “Published reports have said the mayor often seeks Coleman’s advice, particularly on dispensing federal funds for neighborhood and community development. There also have been published reports that Coleman, after years of criticizing the political use of government money, has told community organization leaders that to dip into the federal trough, they would have to do political things like picket the homes (of Washington’s opponents.)”
According to Tribune columnists Kathy O’Malley and Hanke Gratteau in December of 1986: “Leave it to Slim Coleman to throw the first below-the-belt punch of Campaign ‘87. The Uptown activist, who uses his community newspaper to defend his good chum Mayor Harold Washington, is spreading the word that he’s sitting on a dossier of photos, a sort of `”This is Your Life`” for (another) mayoral hopeful.”
After Mayor Washington’s death, the Tribune gave editorial advice to his successor: “People like Slim Coleman and Ald. Helen Shiller were making their influence felt during Mr. Washington`s second term; the new mayor should sweep them out of City Hall’s fifth floor and purge city policy of their loony leftist ideas.”
In 1990 the newspaper reported on the first Midwest Radical Scholars and Activists Conference. Wrote author Jessica Seigel: “’Everyone is dissolving,’ said Uptown activist Slim Coleman at the Chicago conference Sunday. ‘Every time I meet someone, they’re no longer a Marxist-Leninist this or that.’”
In January of 1991, the Tribune covered an antiwar demonstration and noted the presence of Coleman, identified as “a longtime advocate of affordable housing and other causes.”
2004 found Slim condemning the abuse at Abu Ghraib and the Tribune reported: “Preaching at St. Adalberto United Methodist Church, a Hispanic storefront parish on Chicago’s South Side, Rev. Walter ‘Slim’ Coleman told his small congregation that the number of photographs—estimated at 1,500—shows the abuse was a policy, not an aberration in the war. ‘Rumsfeld said it was just a few rotten apples, not the policy of the government,’ Coleman said in a fire-and-brimstone sermon.”
The Most Reverend Coleman has quite a record, one that the Chicago Tribune and other media outlets should make some mention of in reporting his current activities. They don’t need to provide extensive details, but they should give their audience a clue.
