"...providing spiritual, moral, sometimes material and sometimes legal assistance to people who are either unjustly detained or deported."Churches in the Los Angeles area are taking the idea of offering sanctuary very literally, by offering physical safety to at least two undocumented immigrants. The feeling is that Immigration officials will not go into houses of worship to arrest people. Take for example the case of Mexican immigrant Elvira Arellano, who has been inside a Chicago church since last August with a deportation order over her head.
