Chicago Immigration Advocate Faces Deportation

A woman who has become one of Chicago's most visible advocates for illegal immigrants now faces deportation herself. Elvira Arellano, who was arrested in 2002 during an immigration sweep at O'Hare International Airport, has received a letter from the Department of Homeland Security to report to its downtown Chicago offices Tuesday. Immigration officials say they intend to deport her to Mexico as soon as that day. OSCAR AVILA in the Chicago Tribune.
