Are immigration agents willing to go into church to deport an undocumented immigrant? Edith Espinal and her supporters at the Columbus Mennonite Church hope the answer is "no." They're motivated, in part, by the deportation of a woman from Greater Cincinnati. Espinal was supposed to be at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office Tuesday, where she'd likely be sent back to Mexico. Instead, she was at the church to seek sanctuary, the first person in Ohio to publicly do so.
