Undocumented Mother Takes Sanctuary from Deportation in Philadelphia Church 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Philadelphia, an undocumented mother of two U.S. citizens has taken
sanctuary from her deportation order inside a church. Angela Navarro,
whose children are eight and 11, is among millions of people who could
potentially benefit if Obama issues an executive order to end his record
deportations. According to the faith-based group New Sanctuary Movement,
Navarro is the ninth immigrant nationwide to take sanctuary in a church
after receiving a final deportation order, and the first on the East
Coast.
