Arellano, an undocumented immigrant, was working as a janitor at Chicago O'Hare airport in 2002 when she was arrested by Department of Homeland Security officials in an immigration sweep. Arellano took sanctuary in a church to avoid deportation. She left Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago to visit other sanctuaries in California – but was arrested against on August 19, 2007. On today's newscast we hear from Emma Lozano, just moments after Arellano was deported, and with Diana Mendoza, an organizer with The New Sanctuary Movement in Los Angeles.
