Fate of Obama’s aunt to be fought behind closed doors
Boston Herald ^ | Tuesday, February 2, 2010 | Laurel J. Sweet

The illegal alien aunt of President Obama could learn this week whether she can put down roots in Boston - or start packing her bags for a one-way trip back to Kenya.

And, save for U.S. Immigration Court Judge Leonard I. Shapiro, she’ll know before anyone else. Zeituni Polly Onyango has persuaded Shapiro to bar the public from her removal proceeding Thursday morning at the John F. Kennedy Federal Building, though it’s unclear why.

“I assume (Shapiro) thought it would be a three-ring circus. She’s the aunt of the president of the United States - the most famous man in the world,” said Mike Rogers, spokesman for the Ohio law firm defending Onyango, 57, against the Department of Homeland Security.

Shapiro could not be reached for comment. However, Lauren Alder Reid of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review, which speaks for the court, said closed hearings are “not uncommon.”

Reid said removal proceedings are sometimes held behind closed doors in cases of political asylum - such as Onyango is requesting - domestic abuse and security.

“The immigration judge will hear the merits of the case from both parties,” Reid said yesterday. “The judge may make a ruling from the bench, but there’s no guarantee.”

Onyango, she said, can call witnesses if she likes.

Neither Reid nor Rogers claimed any knowledge of Obama meddling on behalf of his late father’s African half-sister, and Rogers said Onyango isn’t trying “to capitalize” on family favortism.

“Everyone knows she’s related to him,” Rogers said. “It’s a no-win situation for him. He can’t get involved in this. The law has got to run its course.”

Onyango, a computer programmer, has been in the country illegally since 2004, when Shapiro ordered her to leave. Recent attempts to reach her at the South Boston housing development where she’s been living since a December 2008 stay of her deportation have been unsuccessful.

Why would anything connected to Obama be transparent?

If shes deported it only means yet another televised statement from dear leader. At this point,he probably wants her deported because it raises a conflict of interest with his amnesty agenda.
“Auntie,we didn’t pass immigration reform in time but i don’t intend to fail the millions of others wishing to become citizens in this country.”
I won’t be far off,hes so predictable.

Didn’t aliens at one point need a sponsor to live in this country?

Make Barry the sponsor - she can live in the white house with her sponsor family (It will still be like living in Public Housing)

Maybe she can get a job there like a secretary or front door hand shaker.

How did she get in? And why, after two deportation orders, is she still here? How did she get, and keep, public housing?

Useless parasite. Computer programmer my foot.

The reason for the secrecy:

If she admits Pres_ _ent Obama was born in Kenya,
she will be thrown out.

If she is willing to lie for the government, she may stay.

Looks like she's taking a quick break from her programing and community outreach careers.

I understand the Boston Housing Authority has since installed a hammock for her.

Why the heck is she requesting POLITICAL asylum?

Also, I find it difficult to understand how a “computer programmer” is in section 8 housing, as I recall being previously reported.

This whole subject stinks - and the closed hearing means to me that Obambi is interfering in some way. The law, after all, is what he says it is now - he won.

If he plans on granting amnesty to millions of illegals, there is no way he’s sending auntie back.

This is one situation where I really wouldn’t care If Obama fixed her case and let her stay. It would hardly be sleazy to pull some strings for his aunt, considering the general state of affairs in politics. I wouldn’t like it, but gee whiz.
It says a lot about Zero’s affinity for his own blood. Oh yeah, He’s a bloodless creep. Never mind.

Her nephew and his wife are rich and she is living in public housing. Illegally. What are the odds that she’ll go back to the country she belongs in? 1,000 to 1 against...
