Illegal immigrant Flor Crisostomo poses inside the Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago on May 15, 2008, where she has sought sanctuary for more than three months. It's the same church another woman, Elvira Arellano, used as a base to champion immigration reform. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have arrested hundreds in raids on factories, restaurants, malls, farms and meat packing plants, but is hesitant to arrest immigrants who seek sanctuary in churches.
