Will The President Have To Step In?

President Obamas aunt is fighting
deportation back to Kenya. The White
House says it is waiting for the legal
process to play itself out. Does this
mean that Obama may step in if a court
ruling is not favorable? Whats your
take on this issue?





An immigration hearing that could lead to the deportation of Barack Obama’s aunt ended without a resolution today.

Zeituni Onyango, 57, testified for nearly three hours at the closed-door hearing and did not speak as she left, walking with a cane. She entered the courtroom in a wheelchair this morning.

Ms. Onyango’s lawyer, Margaret Wong, would not reveal what Ms. Onyango said in her testimony, but said it went “well.”

“She was very honest. She was very to the point,” Ms. Wong told reporters outside the John F. Kennedy Federal Building in Boston.

Ms. Wong said Ms. Onyango is “doing very well” and “really wants to stay in America.”

Lawyers have 30 days to submit written closing briefs. Judge Leonard I. Shapiro scheduled a May 25 hearing if no decision is reached.
