• Immigration activist will leave church

During the year she has avoided deportation inside the sanctuary of a Humboldt Park church, Elvira Arellano has become a national symbol for illegal immigration, with supporters heralding her as a Mexican Rosa Parks and critics citing her freedom as an example of government inaction. Next month, Arellano plans to provoke the discussion even further by leaving Aldaberto United Methodist Church and traveling with her 8-year-old son, Saul, to Washington.
