Elvira Arellano, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who became a symbol in the nation's immigration wars after she took sanctuary in a Chicago church last year, was arrested Sunday by federal immigration agents outside Our Lady Queen of Angels Church in Los Angeles.
Arellano, 32, a single mother, moved into a Chicago church a year ago to prevent being separated from her 8-year-old U.S.-born son.
She was arrested Sunday afternoon as she was leaving the downtown Los Angeles church also known as La Placita with her son and a supporter.
Supporters said the car in which Arellano was riding was surrounded by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, who took her into custody.
The agency did not say where she was being held but did confirm that Arellano would be deported to Mexico.

Wow...
You are a REAL asshole.
I bet there are a lot of people who wish you would leave America.
You should.
America is for people who love Freedom.
Not people like you.
If you get such a kick out of seeing families ripped apart, go join the gov't in N. Korea and leave us Americans alone.
P.S. If you want to consider yourself a REAL patriot, I suggest re-reading the Constitution.
Peace be with You.
I just noticed the comment from Mr. Anonymous. Well, well, you're on a high horse, aincha? People who break the law are held accountable in this society. Perpetrators are not victims, dunce.
