Obama’s Illegal-Alien Uncle Received Stay of Deportation

Written by R. Cort Kirkwood

President Obama’s illegal-alien uncle, Onyango Obama, received a stay of deportation following his DUI arrest in August, according to Judicial Watch, the conservative legal group.

Quoting documents it obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, JW noted that the elder Obama appears to be the beneficiary of his nephew’s deportation moratorium, which President Obama issued in August, and which in turn appeared after the director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), John Morton, ordered his underlings to use “prosecutorial discretion” in deporting illegals.

For his part, Onyango Obama said he wanted to call the White House after police collared him. It turns out that wasn’t necessary.

JW did not speculate about why federal officials have not deported Obama, who received his first deportation order in 1989. He is one of two of President Obama’s illegal-alien relatives living here. The other received asylum after somehow hiring a high-powered immigration attorney to help her evade deportation.

Lawsuit

Judicial Watch obtained the document pursuant to a lawsuit it filed in April, which alleged the government refused to release documents pertinent to Onyango Obama’s deportation. It said the government “is unlawfully withholding public records.”

JW began pursuing public documents after police put the cuffs on the inebriated Kenyan. The group filed a second request after federal authorities released him from federal custody at the Plymouth County House of Correction on September 8, 2011, via an “order of supervision.” That request sought “all records of communications, contacts and correspondence” between ICE and the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department,” as well as other organizations listed in its previous FOIA request.

According to JW, an email from Brian Hale, assistant director of public affairs for Immigration Customs Enforcement to ICE chief John Morton, “confirms that the ICE curiously permitted Onyango to seek the reopening of his deportation proceedings closed in 1992.”

Mr. Onyango is subject to a final order of deportation. ICE had granted him a stay of deportation effective until June 5, 2012.

The stay was granted to allow him to attend pending criminal proceedings and to seek reopening of his deportation proceedings, which concluded before the Board of Immigration Appeals on January 29, 1992.

On March 27, 2012, the Framingham Massachusetts District Court entered its judgment in Mr. Onyango’s criminal case. Since his criminal case has concluded and his attorney appears not to have filed a motion to reopen, ICE is requiring Mr. Onyango to report to our Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations in Burlington, MA on April 12,2012 at 10:30 a.m. with his attorney of record.

At that appointment, arrangements, including medical accommodations, will be discussed to effectuate his departure from the United States on an appropriate date.

Absent a change in circumstances, ICE does not intend to deport him at the time of his April 12 appointment.

JW did not say whether Obama’s “stay” is still in effect. We may presume the longtime illegal alien is still in the country.

Onyango Obama’s Saga

The long-running saga of Onyango Obama began in 1963 when he arrived in the country “to attend a prestigious preparatory school in Cambridge,” the Boston Globe reported at the time of his arrest. He was “under the limited supervision of the president’s late father,” the newspaper reported.

The Globe reported that Onyango dropped out school, but federal authorities didn’t catch up with him and order him out of the country until 1989. He appealed that order, which delayed his exit for three years. In 1992, the government ordered him to leave the country again.

He didn’t. Apparently, the thought of physically putting the recalcitrant illegal alien on a plane with a one-way ticket back to Africa did not occur to federal immigration authorities.

Like the president’s alcoholic, bigamist father, Onyango Obama has an insatiable thirst for alcoholic beverages and went to work at a liquor store.
Police arrested him after he nearly crashed into a police car in Framingham, Mass. As The New American reported at the time, police charged him with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol (DUI), failing to yield, and negligent driving. Obama’s blood alcohol content was 0.14. For a man his size, 175 pounds, he would have had to have consumed about a half-dozen drinks in an hour to reach that level of alcohol concentration.
After the arrest, ICE briefly detained the president’s uncle. In March, he admitted the crime, acknowledging that prosecutors have sufficient evidence to convict him.

Despite all this, and that authorities once again had the illegal Kenyan in custody again, they let him go. Instead of a trip back to Kenya, he received a “hardship license” to drive so he could continue working at the liquor store.

ICE ordered Onyango Obama to stay in touch with them.

Many Interactions With Police

As with so many illegal aliens caught driving drunk, Onyango’s Obama’s arrest in August was not his first encounter with police during the 20 years he faced deportation, during which time he had a driver’s license and Social Security card. Police nailed him twice, in 2010 and 2006, for selling alcohol to minors. Yet in the country he stayed.

Now, Onyango has hired the same immigration lawyer, Margaret Wong, who wangled asylum for President’s Obama Aunt Zeituni, a welfare queen who thinks the United States owes her a living. A sense of entitlement is apparently something of a family trait among the Obamas. “If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen,” Aunt Zeituni told a television station. (Emphasis added.)

Not that Onyango Obama needed a lawyer anyway.

As The New American has been reporting for more than year, the Obama administration has incrementally and insidiously undermined federal immigration law by making the failed DREAM Act, the amnesty for illegals that failed in the Senate in December, 2010, de facto law.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and ICE chief Morton have repeatedly said they will not deport aliens who do not violate criminal statutes. Pursuant to that decision, in June 2011, Morton issued a memorandum that gave underlings “prosecutorial discretion” in deporting illegals. The memorandum contained a list of criteria that expanded upon the lengthy list of excuses the DREAM Act provided for illegal aliens to stay in the country. Morton’s included these criteria that would apply to Obama’s illegal-alien relatives:

• whether the person poses a national security or public safety concern;
• the person's ties and contributions to the community, including family relationships;
• the person's ties to the home country and condition in the country;
• the person's age, with particular consideration given to minors and the elderly. ...
• whether the person is likely to be granted temporary or permanent status or other relief from removal, including as a relative of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident;
• whether the person is likely to be granted temporary or permanent status or other relief from removal, including as an asylum seeker.

After Morton published his memo, Obama ordered a halt to 300,000 deportations. Three weeks ago, after Obama partly prevailed in his battle against Arizona’s tough immigration law, he decided he will not deport young illegal aliens, the first statement Obama himself has made that the DREAM Act is now law.

Memo Shows Obama Administration Granted Deportation Stay to President’s Illegal Alien Uncle Onyango Obama

July 16, 2012

Documents Shows ICE Leadership Tracked Politically Sensitive Case

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch, the organization that investigates and fights government corruption, announced today that it has uncovered a new record from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding President Obama’s illegal alien uncle, Onyango Obama, who was arrested in August 2011 on drunken driving charges in Framingham, Massachusetts.

The document, (view at 1464_07112012_part1)

obtained pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on April 10, 2012, includes an internal agency email from Brian Hale, ICE’s Assistant Director of the Office of Public Affairs, to ICE Director John Morton dated April 1, 2012, titled “Onyango Statement and TP’s [Talking Points].” The email (on page 43) confirms that the ICE curiously permitted Onyango to seek the reopening of his deportation proceedings closed in 1992:

Mr. Onyango is subject to a final order of deportation. ICE had granted him a stay of deportation effective until June 5, 2012.

The stay was granted to allow him to attend pending criminal proceedings and to seek reopening of his deportation proceedings, which concluded before the Board of Immigration Appeals on January 29, 1992.

On March 27, 2012, the Framingham Massachusetts District Court entered its judgment in Mr. Onyango’s criminal case. Since his criminal case has concluded and his attorney appears not to have filed a motion to reopen, ICE is requiring Mr. Onyango to report to our Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations in Burlington, MA on April 12,2012 at 10:30 a.m. with his attorney of record.

At that appointment, arrangements, including medical accommodations, will be discussed to effectuate his departure from the United States on an appropriate date.

Absent a change in circumstances, ICE does not intend to deport him at the time of his April 12 appointment.

Onyango was first ordered out of the country in 1989.

On March 27, 2012, Onyango Obama admitted to the Framingham District Court that prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, meanwhile, claimed the agency intended to continue deportation proceedings against Obama, however, they allowed Onyango to seek the reopening of his deportation proceedings.

Obama, who, upon his arrest, said his one phone call would be to the White House, has indicated he will fight ICE’s efforts to deport him in a high profile proceeding the Boston Herald conjectured could “drag on for years.” While he fights deportation, Obama will be allowed to drive a car. He was supposed to lose his license for 45 days, but received a “hardship license,” from the Massachusetts’s Department of Motor Vehicles so that he could drive back and forth to his job at a liquor store.

On July 12, Judicial Watch released records showing agency officials withholding information on Onyango’s release from the press and Congress.

“It certainly appears that Obama’s uncle is receiving favorable treatment from the Obama administration, which explains that we had to sue in federal court to obtain this material,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “ICE should have deported Onyango immediately, especially after his DUI. We now know that the Obama administration decided not to deport Obama’s uncle despite his being a criminal and being on the lam for at least 20 years.”

As Director of ICE, John Morton has led the implementation of President Obama’s illegal alien amnesty program. On June 30, 2010, Morton sent a memo to all ICE employees instructing local immigration officials to use their discretion in “prioritizing” illegal immigration deportation cases. On June 17, 2011, John Morton followed up with another memo to all field officers, special agents and to the chief counsel further defining the term “prosecutorial discretion,” which, in essence, asked immigration officials to focus deportation proceedings on illegal aliens convicted of crimes.

Obama's half-brother runs questionable charity

By ISABEL VINCENT and MELISSA KLEIN

President Obama's half-brother runs an off-the-books American charity that claims to support poor Kenyans -- but it lies about its federal status and no one knows how it spends its money.

The group, the Barack H. Obama Foundation, was named after the president's father and founded by his sibling Abon'go Malik "Roy" Obama, a 53-year-old polygamist who recently made headlines by adding a third wife -- who's still in her teens.
Its Web site claims to have provided drinking water in Kenya's Siaya District, which includes the Obama clan's ancestral village. The organization also says it has completed a madrassa, or Muslim school, and is building an imam's residence. A photo of the tidy little school building is displayed on the site.






That and other photos on the site are the only purported evidence that the nonprofit has accomplished any of its mission.

A group of Missouri State college students who visited the Obama family village of Kogelo in 2009, and who met the president's half-brother, felt something was amiss. They sensed he was an "operator" and decided to give their donation of 400 pounds of medical supplies directly to a local clinic.

"We didn't know what he was going to do with them," said Ken Rutherford, a former Missouri State professor who led the trip and who shared in the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for his work to ban landmines.

Rutherford said the Obamas' relatives are the only Muslims in a village of 4,000 Christians and that Malik has a private mosque on his property.

Malik started his charity the year his brother ran for president.

The foundation claims to be a tax-exempt, federally recognized nonprofit. It is not.
Nor are there any filings of its expenditures, which the IRS requires of larger charities.

Alton Ray Baysden, a former State Department employee at whose Virginia home the charity was founded in 2008, admitted the organization has not even applied for tax-exempt status.

"We haven't been able to find someone with the expertise to do this," he told The Post. "We are informally scouting for an executive director, someone who knows how to register the charity."

The charity is not even registered in Virginia, a requirement for soliciting donations in that state.

The foundation's Web site includes a donation form that says it has nonprofit status. Charity expert Marcus Owens said knowingly telling donors contributions are tax-deductible if they are not could amount to fraud. "If they haven't applied for exemption, they can't promise their donors that contributions are deductible," said Owens, a lawyer and former IRS official.
