President Barack Obama’s Kenyan-born uncle was expected to appear at a deportation hearing to argue that he should be allowed to stay in the United States despite a 21-year-old order to leave the country.
Onyango Obama, the 69-year-old half brother of the president’s late father, had a hearing scheduled Tuesday in U.S. Immigration Court in Boston.
He has lived in the United States since the 1960s, when he came here as a teenager to attend school. Obama, a liquor store manager, was ordered to leave the country in 1992, but remained.
His immigration status did not become public until his arrest for drunken driving in 2011 in Framingham, just west of Boston. After his arrest, he allegedly told police, “I think I will call the White House.”
Earlier this year, the Board of Immigration Appeals sent the case to the Executive Office for Immigration Review for reassessment.
Margaret Wong, Obama’s Cleveland-based immigration attorney, called him a “wonderful older gentleman.”
“He has earned his privilege to stay in the United States. He has been here for 50 years,” she said Tuesday before the hearing.
The White House has said it expects the case to be handled like any other immigration case.
In the drunken driving case, Obama admitted to sufficient facts, meaning he did not plead guilty but acknowledged prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him.
