Obama’s Kenyan-Born Uncle Allowed to Remain in US

Photo Credit: kevinzimBy DENISE LAVOIE. President Barack Obama’s Kenyan-born uncle, who ignored a deportation order more than two decades ago, on Tuesday was granted permission to stay in the United States.

Judge Leonard Shapiro made the decision after Onyango Obama, 69, testified that he had lived in the U.S. for 50 years, been a hard worker, paid income tax and been arrested only once.

Asked about his family in the U.S., he said he has a sister and two nieces, then added, “I do have a nephew.” Asked to name the nephew, he said, “Barack Obama,” then added, “He’s the president of the United States.”

Onyango Obama, the half brother of the president’s late father, testified he has lived in the U.S. since 1963, when he entered on a student visa. He had a series of immigration hearings in the 1980s and was ordered to leave the country in 1992 but remained.

During his testimony, he identified himself as Obama Okech Onyango. Court records and authorities have identified him as Onyango Obama, and no explanation was given for the discrepancy. Read more from this story HERE.

A LIE ABOUT OBAMA’S PAST RELATIONSHIP WITH FAMILY MEMBER REVEALED?

By Jason Howerton. President Barack Obama’s uncle testified at a deportation hearing on Tuesday that Obama stayed with him while he was attending Harvard Law School in the 1980s, contradicting the White House’s claim that the two had never met. The uncle’s former landlord, who reportedly served as a witness at the hearing, also said the president once lived with his uncle.

A judge decided to let Onyango “Omar” Obama, a Kenyan national, remain in the United States after he was arrested for drunk driving in 2011.

Shortly after his arrest, the White House argued President Obama had never even met his uncle when reporters asked questions about their relationship.

The Obama White House has not commented on the new claim made by Omar Obama and his former landlord, identified as Alfred Ouma. Read more from this story HERE.
