Obama's Kenyan Aunt Zeituni can stay in the US for two more months
|
|
Boston, Feb. 5 : A US immigration judge has given President Barack Obama's Kenyan aunt two more months to prepare an argument against her deportation.
The decision came six years after Aunt Zeituni Onyango was first ordered to leave the United States.
On Thursday, an immigration judge heard two hours of testimony from Zeituni Onyango, 57, and gave lawyers until mid-March to file written arguments.
Onyango entered court in a wheelchair with a cane across her lap.
She smiled, but didn't speak to reporters.
Doctors also spoke on behalf of Onyango, who has said she suffers from the 'Guillain-Barri syndrome.
Obama hasn't intervened for his aunt, who guided Obama around Kenya on a visit 20 years ago.
She came to the U.S. in 2000 and was ordered out in 2004 after an asylum request was rejected, but she did not leave.
"She really wants to stay in America," said her lawyer, Margaret Wong. |

Boston Star

The Boston Star is essentially a local Boston newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Boston, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Boston, Massachusetts, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Boston Star. |
