Obama uncle gets deportation hearing

Posted 12/5/12

BOSTON — President Barack Obama’s uncle is getting a new deportation hearing after an appeals board ordered the agency running the U.S. immigration court system to review his case.

Onyango Obama, the half brother of the president’s late father, is from Kenya but has lived in the United States for decades. He was ordered by an immigration judge to leave the U.S. in 1992, when he failed to renew an application to remain. He later sought to reverse the deportation order.

The Board of Immigration Appeals has sent Obama’s case to the Executive Office for Immigration Review for reassessment.
