(CBS) LOS ANGELES Elvira Arrellano, a Mexican woman who sought sanctuary from deportation in a Chicago church was arrested Sunday in Los Angeles.
A spokesperson from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency would not confirm Arrellano was taken in by ICE agents on Olvera Street, near La Placita Church, in the Los Angeles Civic Center area at about 3 p.m.
Arellano and her son Saul, 8, who is a U.S. citizen, were in Los Angeles seeking immigration reform and were staying at La Placita Church.
She visited three area churches to speak about immigration, but was arrested before she could go to a fourth church.
Arellano defied a deportation order to report to the Department of Homeland Security on Aug. 15, 2006. Instead, she sought refuge in the Adalberto United Methodist Church in the Humboldt Park area of Chicago.
According to the New Sanctuary Movement, more than 600,000 families in the United States have at least one member facing deportation because they are illegal residents.
Arellano claims she seeks to remain in the United States so her American-born son can get medical care for his attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Arellano arrived in the U.S. in 1997 and was soon deported back to Mexico. In 2000, she returned and moved to Illinois, working at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport cleaning planes.
She was arrested in 2002 and later convicted of working under a false Social Security number, prompting the order for her to be deported.
Good.

“Elvira Arellano Arrested Outside Downtown Church”
About damned time.
Since she is in LA, drive her down to Mexico tonight.
about f****n time-she is a convicted felon and they’ve been playing hands off-i’m glad i retired from INS over a decade ago-these turds running DHS and ICE would make me suicidal
How long do you think a one of us Freepers could have gotten away with defying Homeland Security? They would've Wacoed our a$$.
Anchor baby?
Ten bucks says she has no car.
Wacoed our a$$.
Well said. Like I said on another thread, we’re liable to get tasered if we park in the wrong slot and she just continues waltzing her butt around like she’s some kinda princess or something...
INS capitalization errors went down 74% as a result.
Thanks for your service.
“Arellano claims she seeks to remain in the United States so her American-born son can get medical care for his attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.”
Seems to me that this is a bit different story than earlier, but nonetheless:
“Most brand-name Ritalin is produced in the United States, although methylphenidate is also produced in Mexico, Argentina and Pakistan by respective contract pharmaceutical manufacturers and is most commonly marketed under the brand name “Ritalin” for Novartis.”

Hannibal: I love it when a plan comes together!

Well gee...no wonder she is so popular with the libs...
We are SO used to people like her gaming the system that notice, none of us even ask about the father! It’s assumed that there’s no father (or God forbid, a husband) present. How pathetic.
Catapult ...
Shoot. I was about 5 blocks from there when it happened. Could have watched it myself. Long time coming!
