Thank God for this unnamed DHS Supervisor. Thank God for the HSLDA. Thank God, period.
I believe don-o and I would gave gone to Morristown with as many supporters as we could find, to lay down in the road to stop this deportation.
I would not be surprised if that vicious apparatchik Eric Holder decided to get this Supervisor canned, or frame the Romeike on some kind of false charges. Criminal stuff can be remotely planted on people's computers. Think of the possibilities: sedition, illegal weapons trafficking, child porn.
We've got to keep an eye on this: I have a strong feeling it's not over.
By the way, the baby was definitely born here. I saw a group picture of Michael Harris with the Romeike family when Hannelore was heavily pregnant. Now she’s got this baby-— Yay, made in the USA.
This is good news.
I hope the Supervisor in question has not put himself in any danger from others at DHS or DO[I]j.
PRAISE
THE
LORD!
This STILL the Land of the Free or the want to be FREE. I don’t see too many people emigrating to the old USSR, Cuba or Venezuela. As soon as we throw the Marxists out (With extreme prejudice I hope) we can start to rebuild what they have destroyed over the last 100 years.
Vilkommen!
Nice looking family.
Sounds as if they have solid values and will be a worthy addition to the country.
I posted this story about an hour ago, different source, and it got knocked over to the “chit chat” section of FR.
What gives?
They could have granted these poor folks asylum long ago, in fact the courts did just that. The administration went out of their way to get their asylum overturned and put them through hell for three years, taking their attempts to deport them all the way to the supreme court. These people lose at the supreme court and then the next day the administration grants them deferred action so they can help them put a conservative face on the administrative abuse of power they’re using to informally implement immigration reform.
I’m happy for the family, but don’t freepers understand when they’re being played?
“indefinite deferred status”
I would be careful about getting my hopes up. Let’s see after a few months.
No way a DHS bureaucrat reversed himself, on his own, the day after the Supreme Court said it was denying cert.; this had to come straight from Holder or the White House.
The Government got what it wanted: a legal precedent that homeschooling is not an automatic entry to the US. Having established that precedent, the Government didn't want the bad publicity that would come from deporting this family.
They couldn't have reversed themselves before SCOTUS ruled, because that would have mooted the case. But they were obviously ready to do this and waiting for the Court to rule.
Given the level of publicity in this case, there is no way this family would have been granted "indefinite deferred status" without sign-off from very senior people in DHS, and probably DOJ too. The Feds won their case, and set their precedent--foreign prohibitions on homeschooling are not cause for asylum cases--so, now they don't need to go after this family anymore. Plus, the Feds don't have to deal with the ugly optics of a protest against the deportation.
Put simply, Holder won't be going after this unnamed Supervisor, because the Supervisor did exactly what Holder wanted him/her to do
Well, if Obama’s illegal immigrant uncle can stay, why not the family who are not even sucking on the government’s welfare teat?
EXCERPT:
A federal immigration judge ruled Tuesday that President Obama’s uncle can remain in the United States, sparing him deportation to his native Kenya in a case that riveted attention on the elderly man who had lived under the radar in this country for 50 years. For most of that time, he was here illegally.
Boston immigration Judge Leonard I. Shapiro said Onyango “Omar” Obama can now get a green card, and in five years, apply for US citizenship, unless the Department of Homeland Security appeals the case within 30 days.
God is good.
It would be nice to be able to help this family. Does anyone know of a group or a link to a group to help them? Thanks.
Obama may just have not wanted a fair SCOTUS decision here because it would have led to a flood of Christian white immigrants - the kind he hates most.
If ANYBODY is stupid enough to think the current SCOTUS is a CONSERVATIVE one, this should disabuse them. Aside from Alitto, Scalia and Thomas, the others are activist judges.
Sounds to me like the red state rat sinators up for reelection convinced barqy and holder to cease and desist until after the election.

This is a valid reason to give them sanctuary. I am glad they have been given it.
Besides donations to the HSLDA, is there some way to donate to help the family settle into their new home?
