Undocumented CSUN graduate is arrested

The L.A. Daily News reports:

An undocumented graduate of Cal State Northridge was in custody Tuesday after being arrested on suspicion of trespassing during a protest at the Tucson, Ariz., office of Republican Sen. John McCain.

Lizbeth Mateo, 25, was one of five students who donned caps and gowns before staging a sit-in Monday to demand immigration reform. Mateo and two others acknowledged they are living in the U.S. illegally.

Several of Mateo's friends held vigils Tuesday evening outside the Los Angeles offices of Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, seeking her release.

"This is a very talented young woman who has the ability to become a professional and give back to society but now she could be kicked out of this country," said Raymundo Hernandez, 28, a CSUN graduate student in Chicano studies.
