Chicago 'sanctuary church' shelters immigrants, endures hate speech


"I wake up at night and I can't sleep just thinking about it," the 50-year-old woman told CNN, holding back tears. (Jessica is not her real name; because of her fears of being deported, CNN is not revealing her identity.) Lincoln United Methodist Church is a "sanctuary church," or a place that promises to provide shelter and support for undocumented immigrants. "It (sanctuary church) is more of a political term." Arellano became a face of the immigration debate and Lozano's church -- then nearby Adalberto United Methodist Church -- became a symbol of the sanctuary church movement.
