Obama’s aunt granted asylum


CLEVELAND (AP) — A U.S. immigration court has granted
asylum to President Barack Obama’s African aunt, allowing her to
stay in the country and setting her on the road to citizenship after
years of legal wrangling, her attorneys announced Monday.
The decision was made by a judge in U.S. Immigration Court in
Boston and mailed out Friday. It comes three months after Kenya
native Zeituni Onyango, the half-sister of Obama’s late father, testi-
fied at a closed hearing in Boston.
People who seek asylum must show that they face persecution
in their homeland on the basis of religion, race, nationality, political
opinion or membership in a social group.
The basis for Onyango’s asylum request was never made public,
but her lawyer Margaret Wong said last year that Onyango first
applied for asylum “due to violence in Kenya.” The East African
nation is fractured by cycles of electoral violence every five years.
Medical issues also could have played a role. In a November
interview with The Associated Press, Onyango said she was dis-
abled and was learning to walk again after being paralyzed from
Guillain-Barre syndrome, an autoimmune disorder. At her hearing
in Boston earlier this year, she arrived in a wheelchair and two doc-
tors testified in support of her case.
Her lawyers would not comment on Onyango’s medical trou-
bles.
“She doesn’t want people to feel sorry for her,” said Scott
Bratton, another of her attorneys.
Onyango’s efforts to win asylum have lasted more than a
decade, Wong said.
“She was ecstatic,” Wong said at a news conference in Cleveland
on Monday, describing Onyango’s reaction to the news. “She was
very, very happy.”

Obama spokesman Nick Shapiro said Monday that the White
