Mexican Congressmen Back Church-Housed Immigrant – Chicago (by my estimate Elvira Arellano has been inside the church for 6 months now)
Tagged: activist, deportation, Elvira Arellano, latina, MexicoPosted on: February 12th, 2007“A delegation of Mexican congressmen pledged their continued support Friday for an undocumented Chicago mother who says she is defying a U.S. deportation order because wants to remain here with her son, who is a U.S. citizen.
The politicians visited immigration activist Elvira Arellano at the Adalberto United Methodist Church, where she and her now 8-year-old son have taken refuge since mid-August. They told Arellano her plight has galvanized Mexico’s multiparty Congress behind a single issue: the reunification of families.”
