Reports that Elvira Arellano - an illegal alien who was ordered to appear to be deported but who took refuge in Chicago's Adalberto United Methodist instead - has sent her son Saul - a U.S. citizen - to the National Latino Congress in Los Angeles where he planned to talk about his family's experiences.

Saul is being accompanied to Los Angeles by his "adopted grandmother" Emma Lozano, the executive director of the Chicago immigration-rights group Centro Sin Fronteras, and is to return Sunday. Lozano said she hopes to garner more legal support and media attention on the trip.
