Community rallies for immigrant rights
Friday, September 14, 2007 : CLEVELAND — At a rally for immigrant rights here Sept. 10, a standing-room-only crowd applauded as the 8-year-old son of Elvira Arellano, recently deported to Mexico, appealed for an end to the inhumane assaults on families by federal authorities. His head barely clearing the podium at the Nueva Vida church, Saul “Saulito” Arellano asked the crowd to “tell President Bush to stop the raids and deportations so my mom and other families can stay here.” His mother, arrested last month outside a Catholic church in Los Angeles and later deported, made national headlines after taking refuge for a year in a church in Chicago.
