A German family who moved to Tennessee 15 years ago to home school their children were granted a one-year reprieve after being threatened with deportation.
A German family that faced deportation after making a home for themselves in East Tennessee for the past 15 years has been granted a one-year stay of removal, a source familiar with the situation told Fox News Digital. The development comes after lawmakers intervened on the Romeike family's behalf, asking U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to reconsider the move. 'We are asking you and your office to give this family a chance to continue building their lives in Tennessee.
To uproot this family who has been contributing to our city, county and state in many ways seems unduly cruel and unnecessary. As time is of the essence, we ask that a review of their circumstances be made and at least give this family more time.' The Romeike family, originally from Germany, fled to the U.S. after being fined for homeschooling their children in their mother country. Initially, an immigration judge found the Romeike family's asylum claim appropriate.
Kevin Boden, an attorney representing the family, explained that a judge initially found the Romeike family to have a 'well-founded fear of persecution' as a particular social group . However, the Obama administration appealed that finding to the Board of Immigration Appeals. 'That appeal court agreed with them, as did the Sixth Circuit, and the Supreme Court denied it…. We think this is, in fact, an asylum case.
Since President Biden took office, there have been millions of illegal crossings at our southern border. The number of crossings has skyrocketed because these migrants perceive the Biden administration's border policies to be weak and ineffective. Instead of changing course, you doubled down when you visited Texas, saying that you ‘have confidence in our model.
The letter continued, 'This enforcement action highlights the two standards of justice that have been a constant theme of President Biden's first two and a half years in office. You are targeting a family who fled Germany in search of basic parental rights and has legally resided in the United States for years.
