ICE Stonewalls On Status Of Uncle Onyango Obama
Judicial Watch ^ | July 20, 2012

Posted on 07/20/2012 11:31:52 AM PDT by jazusamo

Following the publication of embarrassing internal government emails by Judicial Watch, the Homeland Security agency responsible for deporting criminal illegal immigrants is dodging questions about President Obama’s illegal alien uncle, who got busted for drunken driving last year in Massachusetts.

The case received widespread media coverage because the commander-in-chief’s uncle, Onyango Obama, had previously been deported to his native Kenya yet lived and worked in the Boston area and threatened to call the White House after getting arrested. He also had a valid Massachusetts drivers’ license, which was temporarily suspended after his drunken-driving arrest but, incredibly, has been reinstated by the state’s Registry of Motor Vehicles.

Uncle Onyango has also received special treatment from the feds, according to government documents obtained by Judicial Watch. They weren’t easy to obtain because the administration clearly wants to keep details of the case from the public, despite promises of unprecedented transparency. JW had to sue for the information, which was made public this month.

The records, released by JW in two parts (click here and here to see them), show that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) withheld information on Uncle O’s release from the press and Congress and that the agency curiously permitted him to seek the reopening of deportation proceedings that had been closed in 1992. ICE leadership also tracked the politically sensitive case and granted Uncle O a special stay of deportation.

The records also include an embarrassing 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 ICE gave the president’s uncle favorable treatment.

We know that Uncle O still lives and drives in the Boston area but the Obama Administration refuses to reveal the next step. Will Homeland Security officials sit idly by while an illegal immigrant with a DUI roams freely? Judicial Watch spent a great part of the week trying to get answers by repeatedly contacting ICE officials in Washington D.C. The question JW posed was simple: What is the status of the Onyango Obama case? The public certainly has the right to know.

But ICE blew JW off repeatedly. Multiple phone calls and messages to the ICE Public Affairs Office went unanswered before an agency spokeswoman named Gillian Christensen demanded the question be put in writing and sent to her email address at Gillian.Christensen@DHS.gov. Multiple emails and several days later, JW has not received a response.

They are trying to squeeze him in under the unconstitutional "Obama Dream Act". If they could only get him off the sauce and back to finish grade school.....

Little doubt that you’re right. Onyango has an age problem too but Zer0 can waive that...

I remember a time when people in public office bent over backwards to avoid any semblance of impropriety. *sigh*

An indication of how all this will turn out...a few months ago Uncle Omar was stopped for drunk driving in a town near Boston.At the police station he replied,when asked if there was anyone he wanted to call,"I think I'll call the White House".The case went to court where he received a small fine and his license was suspended.Later,the Massachusetts DMV announced that his license had been reinstated.

The problem with the license part is that under state law one must provide proof of legal status (citizenship,Green Card,etc) before a Massachusetts driver's license can be issued.

And for the record,our beloved (but not by me) Governor Deval "Coupe Deval" Patrick is a long time,close,buddy (all the way back to Chicago) of Osama Obama and coined the phrase "yes we can" in his 2006 campaign for Governor.

Yep, he's been getting preferential treatment for quite some time, probably through Patrick and other Obama cronies.

An aunt and uncle living here illegally for years and committing crimes, plus a brother & multiple other relatives living in poverty in Kenya...and with no help from Bathhouse Barry.

And the leftist media cluck & guffaw about reasonable inquiries into Zero's birth records, citizenship, draft registration, school transcripts, travels, and affiliations. We live in a Bizarro World.

Jinx, I was a witness to Uncle Onyango's birth in my little grass shack in Kealakekua Hawaii. I'll drop by the registry office, record the birth, and get you a copy of the BC.

If there's anything embarrassing on it, I know a guy who can fix it with Photoshop. No problem.

Shoot, I have Creative Suite here in the office; I’m sure I can gin up a BC that’ll pass muster with the Congress and the various Secretaries of State.

If you can give me a plausible Date/Time, I can knock that out in just a few minutes.

Bathhouse Barry?"

Watch it honkey. Barry be All Man .. see the way he done beats down that Osama guy? He look a little on the down-low, but that don't mean nothing. And that "sports club" he belong to in Chicago? That be nothin'. Just ask Reggie Love or Rahm Emmanuel. And don't you be listening to Larry Sinclair or that dead gay guy from the church, neither. Queers lie!

Same on the "mom" jeans and the girlie throwing style. Don't play no ball in Indonesian is all.

cheap rental on the Kona

I think Molokai for this one. Little more informal there, if you catch my drift. Plus the natives are surly, just like here in ME. When you get off the plane they don't go into that Aloha crap, they just say, "Not stayin' long, are ya?"
