Elvira Arellano, the illegal Mexican immigrant who has avoided deportation for a year by taking refuge inside a Humboldt Park church, said today she plans to leave her sanctuary to participate in a new push for immigration reform in Washington.

Would ICE please arrest this woman and process her for deportation as soon as she leaves the church premises?

Actually, there is no law (at any level, so far as I am aware) that establishes "safe houses" or "sanctuaries" of any sort. The authorities' refusal to arrest and deport this woman is a perfect example of self-imposed limitations.

Obviously, the Feds don't want the bad PR.

But the thought of having lost all control of our borders...well, that is apparently something they can live with.

Nope! Jailtime. She was already deported once. She came back. That’s a felony!
