Obama Arrested for Drunk Driving in Massachusetts!
National Review Online ^ | August 26, 2011 | Mark Krikorian
Posted on August 26, 2011 9:46:44 PM EDT by moonshinner_09
No, not that Obama, silly. Boston talkmeister Michael Graham points to the story of Onyango Obama, a 67-year-old illegal alien from Kenya, arrested Wednesday night in Framingham for drunk driving after he almost crashed into a police car. The original news story reports that he had been ordered deported but absconded, along with hundreds of thousands of others whom the immigration service has announced it will no longer look for. Presumably he was identified by a means other than Secure Communities, which has not been activated in that jurisdiction, because of the governor’s opposition.
But even if Secure Communities were operational there, it might not matter, because it’s up to the immigration authorities to decide whether to pick up the identified illegal alien, and under the other Obama’s management, the bar has been set pretty high for deportation. That’s especially salient in Massachusetts in the wake of last week’s hit-and-run killing of an American man by a drunk-driving, repeat-offending, illegal alien criminal who had never been referred to ICE despite arrests for assaulting a police officer and breaking and entering. Here’s Graham:
Unfortunately, even if we did have a governor who cared more about public safety than politics, it apparently wouldn’t make any difference. Fox 25 here in Boston reports that they contacted ICE about the killer in Milford and were told that, even if he had been referred to them, the crimes of resisting arrest, assault and B&E “aren’t necessarily serious enough to warrant deportation under current policy.”
Get that — resisting arrest, assault, and B&E are not “serious” crimes arrest for which would lead ICE to request a hold be put on the perp pending deportation.

Who cares. Should we write up articles about people getting DWI with the last name Perry or Bachman..... ::)
-
Well, now we know about two illegal aliens named obama living in mass.
-
this is a highly important issue.
-
LMFAO - turns out this dude is obamas uncle. Ill post the story later from the wash times.
Two illegals related to obama in mass and nothing happens.
But oh let's attack buinseeses making guitars and planes.

Who cares. His aunt has an expired work visa and its prob the same for whoever this guy is, they likely don't have the money to buy a plane ticket back to Kenya. What does this have to do with politics??? He has a brother who lives in a 2X3 meter shack that cost him 1 US dollar a month. Its no different really than when George Bush's twin daughters were busted for buying alcohol underage and using fake ID's.
Unless they are involved in politics, family members simply need to be left out of it.
-
They need to be deported back to africa where these leeches belong.

Well, feel free to pay for their plane tickets or ask the government to pay 24k a pop to do so

A bargain compared to what these parasites cost us.

I hope you apply that standard consistently. Seems you far left liberals always seem to make exceptions, especially with Palin's kids.

Clearly, 333 missed the memo.
Fucktards like 240 and Vince Eraser Tits are only interested when the family members of Republicans are involved.
The fact that Obama's father was an alcoholic who killed a man is also completely irrelevant.
Bristol Palin's yeast infections= Extremely important and newsworthy

PICKET: Obama's illegal uncle arrested; 'Uncle Omar' almost hits cop car, tries to call White House

*Clarification: Onyango Obama nearly hit the police car. He did not actually hit it, according to police reports.
-------
A number of media outlets have already reported that an illegal immigrant from Kenya by the name of Onyango Obama, 67, was arrested last week on Wednesday after he nearly rammed his SUV into a police car in Framingham, Massachusetts.
He was later charged with DUI among other violations. I spoke to Framingham Public Information Officer Lieutenant Delaney who told me that when Onyango Obama was asked at booking if he wanted to make a telephone call to arrange for bail, the Kenyan immigrant replied: "I think I will call the White House."
It should be noted that the Times of London, highlighted an Onyango Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign, when the British daily found President Barack Obama's “Aunt Zeituni” living in Boston illegally.:
Dreams From My Father was first published in 1995, and the story of how Mr Obama returned to Kenya in 1988 to trace his roots has become the cornerstone of his political biography. Yet the US media appears to have overlooked the passage indicating that at least one relative of Mr Obama’s had moved to America and might still be there.
Two thirds of the way through the book Mr Obama’s half-sister talked about Africans who had emigrated to the West and were never heard of again, “like our Uncle Omar, in Boston . . . They’ve been lost, you see”.
A few pages later Mr Obama meets his step-grandmother, Sarah, for the first time in the village of Kogelo. On the walls of her hut are photographs of Omar, “the uncle who had left for America 25 years ago and never came back”. Touchingly, she asks the future presidential candidate if he has any news of Omar, her son and Mr Obama’s half-uncle.
The article continues:
This triggered a six-week search, one that would lead eventually to Boston and to Aunt Zeituni. Public record searches found traces of O. Onyango Obama, Uncle Omar’s real name, in Boston. A friend and a former landlady said that he now uses the name Obama Onyango.
In the course of searching for Uncle Omar The Times found a Zeituni Onyango, who also played a prominent part in Mr Obama’s book.
In the memoir Auntie Zeituni, Uncle Omar’s sister, explained the family’s complex family tree to the future presidential candidate, introduced him to other relatives and fed him a herbal remedy for an upset stomach.
Also, a wikipedia page about the president's family that has not been edited since August 2 mentions Uncle Omar:
Omar ObamaHalf-uncle of Barack Obama,[126] born on June 3, 1944 in Nyang’oma Kogelo. Oldest son of Onyango and Sarah Obama, resides in Boston, Massachusetts.
The daily log from the Framingham Police Department shows the Onyango Obama that was arrested last week in Framingham, a Boston suburb, has the birth date of June 3, 1944.
Metrowest Daily first reported Onyango Obama's arrest:
After the near crash, Onyango Obama, 67, told Officer Val Krishtal that Krishtal should have yielded to his Mitsubishi SUV, according to a report filed yesterday in Framingham District Court.
Krishtal said he and another driver had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting the SUV, which rolled through a stop sign and took a quick left turn.
Obama said he doubted the officer slammed on his brakes because he did not hear the tires squeal, the report says.
Krishtal said he was on Waverly Street headed toward South Street when his police car was cut off. Krishtal pulled the SUV over around 7:10 p.m.
Obama failed several field sobriety tests and was arrested. At the police station, Obama failed a Breathalyzer test, registering .14. The state legal limit is .08.
Obama was charged with driving under the influence of liquor and driving to endanger. He was also cited for not using a turn signal.
According to article, federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement has warrant for his arrest and ICE previously ordered him to be deported back to Kenya. In the meantime, a judge has not set bail on the driving charges but ordered that he be held on the ICE warrant.

Still has nothing to do with Barack Obama just as the Bush twins have nothing to do with George Bush. I've always had a distain for articles that drag in family members of candidates for political advantage. That's one reason why Kerry lost to Bush when he brought Dick Cheney's daughter into the debate.
If someone is willing to attack someone's credibility by attacking someone in their family, then they are the ones that are parasites
-
Lmao - how does my mocking this caravan of grifters and looters known as the obama tribe equate to their raping the nation fiscally?

I completely agree!
Some of these hate mongering idiots think anything and anyone is fair game....which explains why they never go into politics themselves, there too afraid someone will expose their innermost secrets or their families' foibles.

How about obama having to illegal alien relatives in the country and his not deporting them?
-
How about our entire elected government ignoring the illegal immigration issue for years?
-

He's just the President, not the head of ICE.

Since it cost 24k dollars to deport a person from the country, ICE deports folks with criminal records rather than simple immigration violators. But chances are that this Omar person will have to serve his time in jail before he's likely to be deported since he'll have a criminal record after this.
However Zeituni Onyango (Aunt Zeituni) is actually a legal resident of the United States. She fled Kenya and applied for political asylum in 2002 which was granted by an Immigration Judge. She works as a computer programmer and pays taxes like everyone else. You can thank the GOP for that. They illegally released her records and immigration status during the 2008 election which is unlawful. Privacy Laws prohibit people seeking asylum from their information being released.
-
Well, I stand corrected. Onyango is being held by ICE and is scheduled to be deported. Anything else
-
Yeah - his nephew needs to be next.
-
How about our entire elected government ignoring the illegal immigration issue for years?
No doubt. Seems more and more that even the ones who are supposedly "staunch" on illegal immigration do little to try and curb the problem. Of course, Barry suing AZ and shit, doesn't help either.
-
And he is suing alabama as well.
-
How about our entire elected government ignoring the illegal immigration issue for years?
They ignore it because its just too expensive to enforce 100%. At 24K a pop, its not exactly desirable. That's why they only deport those with criminal records although Obama's deported a lot more people in two years than Bush did in the same period of time

Barack Obama's uncle has been arrested and held as illegal immigrant
James Bone and Catherine Philp From:
The Times August 29, 2011
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/barack-obamas-uncle-has-been-arrested-and-held-as-illegal-immigrant/story-e6frg6so-1226124269032
BARACK Obama's long-lost "Uncle Omar" has been arrested for alleged drink-driving outside Boston and detained as an illegal immigrant, The Times can reveal.
The arrest ends a mystery over the fate of a relative that the US President wrote in his memoir had moved to America from Kenya in the 1960s, although the circumstances of his discovery may now prove to be an embarrassment for the White House.
Official records say Onyango Obama, 67, was picked up outside the Chicken Bone Saloon in Framingham, Massachusetts, at 7.10pm on August 24. Police say he nearly crashed his Mitsubishi 4x4 into a patrol car, and then insisted that the officer should have given way to him. A report filed with the Framingham District Court said that a breathalyser at the police station registered his blood alcohol at 0.14mg/100ml of blood, above the state limit of 0.08mg.
According to a local newspaper, Mr Obama was charged with driving under the influence and driving to endanger, as well as failing to use a turn signal. He was detained as an illegal immigrant because the US Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement has an outstanding warrant for him because he was previously ordered to be deported to Kenya.
The Times has established from his birthdate that Mr Obama is the Uncle Omar mentioned in President Obama's best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father. In the 1995 book, President Obama writes of "the uncle who had left for America 25 years ago and had never come back".
In 2008, The Times mounted a search for Uncle Omar. Instead of finding him, we discovered his sister, President Obama's Auntie Zeituni, who was living as an illegal immigrant on a Boston housing estate. Uncle Omar and Auntie Zeituni are the children of President Obama's grandfather Hussein Onyango Obama, by his third wife Sarah, the woman President Obama calls "Granny", because she raised his father, Barack Sr, who was Hussein Obama's son by Hussein's second wife, Akumu.
The 2008 investigation unearthed public records naming an O. Onyango Obama, born on June 3, 1944, living at a house in the Boston suburbs, where he was known as Obama Onyango. Framingham police records list the man arrested last week as Onyango Obama, with the same birth date, June 3, 1944.
According to local reports, Officer Val Krishtal and another driver had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting Mr Obama's car, which rolled through a stop sign and took a quick left turn. Mr Obama allegedly told the officer he had right of way and said he doubted the officer was forced to brake hard as he did not hear his brakes squeal.
Mr Obama pleaded not guilty at his remand hearing, but was held in custody because of the immigration warrant. He now faces a legal battle. His sister Zeituni eventually won the right to live in America despite an earlier deportation order. Margaret Wong, the Cleveland lawyer who successfully represented Zeituni, confirmed through a representative last night that she has also been retained to defend Mr Obama.
"Before he went to America, we all knew him as Omar. But he dropped that bit, changing it to Obama Onyango, because he said he preferred his African name," said Nelson Ochieng, a cousin in the Kenyan city of Kisumu.
Mr Obama's landlady in Boston went to court to evict him in 2000 for non-payment of his dollars 500-a-month rent. He was also a partner in a convenience store that was set up in 1992, and was attacked in a robbery at the shop in 1994 by two men armed with a sawn-off rifle.

They should follow the law or change it. $24k really? Sounds like more government waste factored in.
Obama may have deported more illegals, but the problem is far from being addressed.
Seal the borders, wall it, patrol it, stop wasting money on stupid crap like Libya, Iraq, afghanistan, and ball washing. Declare amnesty to all those already here, give them all 2 years to learn passible English and if they don't learn it boot them out.

24k to deport these illegal alien vermin is a bargain. They should start with Aunt Zeutuni

President Obama’s uncle had Social Security ID
By Dave Wedge and Laurel J. Sweet | Tuesday, August 30, 2011 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Local Coverage
President Obama’s accused drunken-driving uncle — who was busted after a near collision with a Framingham cop — has had a valid Social Security number for at least 19 years, despite being an illegal immigrant ordered to be deported back to Kenya, the Herald has learned.
The president’s 67-year-old uncle, Obama Onyango, has had a valid Massachusetts driver’s license and Social Security number since at least 1992, said Registry of Motor Vehicles spokesman Michael Verseckes.
Onyango, whose sister, Zeituni Onyango, made headlines when it was revealed she was an illegal immigrant living in public housing in South Boston, was wobbly legged, “slurring” and had “red and glassy eyes” when he was pulled over at 7 p.m. Wednesday on Waverly Street in Framingham.
A marked cruiser pulled him over just past the Chicken Bone saloon, about a mile from Onyango’s single-family home. Onyango, the half-brother of the president’s father identified in some press accounts as “Uncle Omar,” initially denied drinking but admitted having “two beers” after police said they smelled booze on his breath, according to a police report.
“It was clear that he was moderately unsteady on his feet,” Framingham Officer Val Krishtal wrote.
Onyango’s white Mitsubishi SUV was pulled over after the vehicle made a sudden right turn in front of a cruiser at a stop sign, causing Krishtal to slam on the brakes to avoid a collision. Onyango blew a .14 on the Breathalyzer and continually interrupted the officer, the report states.
“(Onyango) spoke English well, albeit with a moderate accent. I detected what I believed to be some slurring as he spoke,” Krishtal wrote.
Onyango was ordered held without bail on a federal immigration warrant after his arraignment Thursday in Framingham District Court. Court papers show he was the subject of a previous deportation order. He was being held in the Plymouth House of Correction last night.
Mike Rogers, a spokesman for Cleveland immigration attorney Margaret Wong, who is representing Onyango, said he “wouldn’t know how” Onyango obtained a Social Security number. Wong is the same lawyer who represented the president’s aunt, Zeituni Onyango, in her fight to win asylum last year. Reached at her apartment in a South Boston public housing complex yesterday, Zeituni Onyango said of her brother’s arrest: “Why don’t you go to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C., and ask your president? Not me.” She then hung up on a reporter.
The bust came just days after another illegal immigrant was charged with running down and killing a 23-year-old man in Milford.
Asked about the issue yesterday, Gov. Deval Patrick said: “You know my stance: Illegal is illegal. We need comprehensive immigration reform.”

Well, there's been no money spent in Libya...Iraq and Afgan were there already although the Iraq campaign is winding down. I would declare them amnesty but ultimately make sure that they pay taxes in addition to an illegal immigrant surcharge on their taxes to cover ICE expense.

Another deportation fugitive in the Obama family
http://michellemalkin.com/2011/08/30/another-deportation-fugitive-in-the-obama-family
By Michelle Malkin • August 30, 2011 09:55 AM
Oh, Uncle Omar.
We’ll get to more of him in a moment.
Over the past decade, I’ve reported on America’s bottomless deportation abyss. After the 9/11 attacks, it finally dawned on federal homeland security officials that maybe it wasn’t such a smart policy to allow 400,000 illegal aliens who had been ordered deported to remain on the loose. These absconders who entered the country illegally, evaded judicial deportation orders, and absconded from justice were beneficiaries of a chaotic system clogged by conflicting statutes, incomprehensible administrative regulations, bureaucratic and judicial fiefdoms, selective enforcement, and a feeding frenzy of obstructionist immigration lawyers.
It is a climate which continues to favor illegal aliens’ rights over citizens’ safety.
I’ve reminded you repeatedly about these deportation truths as clueless politicians on both sides of the aisle blabber about “comprehensive immigration reform”/mass amnesty. In July, I pointed you to a Center for Immigration Studies study that updated and underscored many of the deportation fundamentals we’ve stressed over the years:
* A large percentage of aliens flee from removal proceedings – perhaps as many as 59 percent of all those released to await hearings. On a cost basis from the alien’s perspective, this makes sense. If you are in proceedings and have little chance of relief, why not treat the bond money (if it’s even required) as the cost of having been caught, and then flee, hoping to stay under the radar for as long as possible, perhaps until the next amnesty?
* Though fashionable in the Obama administration, the exercise of “prosecutorial discretion” is problematic for ICE field officers. If the alien that they decline to remove goes on to commit a heinous act, they could be subject to lawsuits from victims and will be held accountable by their own agency (even if agency leadership encourages them to use the tool).
* Even in today’s technology-driven world, charging an alien with immigration violations is a paperwork-intensive, cumbersome process that requires agents to fill out nearly 20 different forms each time.
* ICE officers are supposed to consider two key factors in determining whether to detain or release an alien in proceedings – if the alien is a flight risk and if he is a risk to the community. The latter factor obviously is given serious consideration, but it is equally obvious from the large number of absconders that officers don’t give the same weight to the likelihood of flight, especially considering the scarcity of funded detention space.
* The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides for several types of due process for aliens, depending on their circumstances of arrival and stay. The law does not require that all removals be ordered by an immigration judge.
* The option of Voluntary Return, where the alien requests to be returned home in lieu of formal removal proceedings, is not really “voluntary,” but is beneficial to the alien because it carries fewer consequences if the alien returns illegally. It also has become subject to overuse or misuse in recent years as a tool to increase the volume of removals, at the expense of more formal methods of removal that have more deterrent value.
* Immigration law provides for seven ways to remove an alien, which are explained in the report. Four of these options are relatively efficient, but used less frequently. If ICE chose to expand their use, the workload of the immigration court could be reduced and the immigration enforcement system would be less dysfunctional.
* The total number of apprehensions of illegal aliens by immigration enforcement agencies is less than half of what it was five years ago. For instance, the drop in apprehensions by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is often explained by improvements in border security; however, this rationale is suspect, as has been pointed out by the Rand Corp. in a study of border metrics. But ICE apprehensions also have dropped steeply, although there has been only a modest drop in the size of the illegal population inside the United States.
When the White House began issuing its deportation waivers last week, I reminded you again about the endless appeals process and immigration litigation lottery played by deportable aliens and their open-borders lawyers. And remember: Capitol Hill compounds the problem with a raft of special private relief bills that protect illegal alien criminals.
This chaos creates a friendly atmosphere in which those who plot to destroy the American dream can hide, work, and flourish. As we approach the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that awoke snoozing feds to the nexus between systemic lax immigration enforcement and compromised homeland security, the paparazzi president has nothing to say about the deportation abyss. We’ll get photo ops and platitudes about never forgetting. The open-borders lobby will get a continuing windfall of get-out-of-deportation passes.
In November 2008, Barack Obama’s unemployed illegal alien aunt who had been living in public housing for years received special dispensation from the Bush administration despite evading deportation orders for years. Despite failing to win an asylum bid and despite ignoring a judicial determination that she return home, Zeituni Onyango won another bid in the immigration court system. In May 2010, the unemployed illegal alien deportation fugitive won her case and remains in the country today — free to moan and whine about how badly America has treated her while living on the taxpayers’ dime.
And then came Uncle Omar. The brother of Auntie Zeituni and half-brother of President Obama’s father, “Omar” Obama Onyango was arrested for drunk driving over the weekend (h/t to Michael Graham) and is being detained on an immigration detainer. He did have a job, unlike his sister. It was, alas, at a liquor store. The Boston Herald reports today that the uncle (whom Obama referred to in his best-selling “Dreams of My Father” as “Uncle Omar”) “had a valid Social Security number for at least 19 years, despite being an illegal immigrant ordered to be deported back to Kenya.”
The Herald further adds:
Mike Rogers, a spokesman for Cleveland immigration attorney Margaret Wong, who is representing Onyango, said he “wouldn’t know how” Onyango obtained a Social Security number. Wong is the same lawyer who represented the president’s aunt, Zeituni Onyango, in her fight to win asylum last year. Reached at her apartment in a South Boston public housing complex yesterday, Zeituni Onyango said of her brother’s arrest: “Why don’t you go to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C., and ask your president? Not me.” She then hung up on a reporter.
The bust came just days after another illegal immigrant was charged with running down and killing a 23-year-old man in Milford.
Asked about the issue yesterday, Gov. Deval Patrick said: “You know my stance: Illegal is illegal. We need comprehensive immigration reform.”
More nonsense and pabulum from America’s open-borders know-nothings. They’ve turned the American Dream on its head. Entry into this country is no longer treated as a privilege, but an irrevocable right for every last griping Zeituni and reckless Omar.

Doug Powers cracks: “If the president was serious about rounding up illegals he’d host a family reunion and have ICE throw a net over the South Lawn.”

Obama kin arrested on DUI charge

Globe Staff / August 30, 2011
FRAMINGHAM - As he was being booked on drunken driving charges by Framingham police last week, Onyango Obama was offered a chance to make a phone call to arrange for bail.
“I think,’’ he said, according to a police report, “I’d like to call the White House.’’
If he was hoping to reach his nephew, Barack Obama, he would have been out of luck; the president was vacationing with the first family on Martha’s Vineyard.
The elder Obama, who is the half-brother of the president’s late father, according to a spokesman for the law firm representing him, is in the custody of immigration officials, awaiting possible deportation to Kenya.
A White House spokesman referred all requests for comment yesterday to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The ICE press office, in an e-mail, said the agency does not comment on specific cases.
Onyango Obama, 67, who lives on Charles Street in Framingham, was stopped by police outside the Chicken Bone Saloon on Wednesday, shortly after 7 p.m.
According to the police report, Obama was driving on South Street, just in front of a police cruiser, when he made a sharp turn, causing the officer and another driver behind to jam on their brakes.
When the officer approached the vehicle, Obama, who “spoke English well, albeit with a moderate accent,’’ appeared to have slurred speech, according to the report by Officer Val J. Krishtal.
“The male would not allow me to speak and continued to interrupt me,’’ Krishtal wrote. “I explained to him that I narrowly avoided striking his vehicle, and he told me that he did not hear my tires screeching, so I was not being accurate.’’
Obama first told the officer he had not had anything to drink, then admitted to one beer, and then to two beers, according to the report, which described his eyes as “red and glassy.’’
When the officer attempted to administer a field sobriety test , Obama kept starting the test too early and talking over the officer’s instructions, the report said.
“Every time I got a sentence out, Obama would say, ‘You are correct,’ ’’ Krishtal wrote. “He also attempted to start the [one-legged stand] test approximately 7 times without being told to do so.’’ During another test known as the “nine-step walk and turn,’’ Obama “could barely keep himself from falling,’’ according to the report.
After failing three field sobriety tests, Obama was arrested on a drunken-driving charges and booked without incident, the police report said.
At the station, which is where Obama first hinted at his White House connection, he allegedly registered a 0.14 percent blood alcohol level on an alcohol breath test. The legal limit in Massachusetts is 0.08.
Framingham police Lieutenant Ronald Brandolini said the department did not investigate the presidential connection, despite the last name and the White House comment.
“We did not look into it,’’ Brandolini said.
Obama was arraigned Thursday on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol, failure to yield at an intersection, and negligent operation, according to Cara O’Brien, a spokeswoman for the Middlesex district attorney. She said a judge ordered him released on personal recognizance, but he was held on an immigration detainer.
Mike Rogers, a spokesman for immigration lawyer Margaret Wong, said Wong is representing Obama in the deportation proceedings.

OBAMA’S ILLEGAL UNCLE Worked at Liquor Store – Sold Booze to Kids

Obama illegal alien Uncle Onyango Obama was arrested for driving drunk.
He is currently being held by ICE. Onyango told police he planned to arrange bail through the White House.

Barack Obama’s illegal alien Uncle Onyango worked at Conti Liquor Store in Framington, MA.
Obama’s Uncle Onyango was in trouble last year after he sold booze to a minor.
The Taunton Gazette reported:
The half-uncle of President Barack Obama arrested last week for drunken driving was a great employee but never mentioned his relationship to the President, the owner of the liquor store he worked at said.
Onyango Obama, 67, has worked at Conti Liquors, 409 Concord St., since 2006, said store owner Parimal Patel.
“I have nothing but good things to say about him,” said Patel. “He’s probably the best employee I’ve had.”
Obama usually worked about 30 hours a week, mostly nights, Patel said. He never talked about relatives, including President Barack Obama.
“If I knew I would have asked him for tickets to the White House,” Patel said.
Framingham Police said they arrested Obama, of 37 Charles St., last Wednesday after he cut off a police cruiser on Waverly Street, nearly causing an accident. They charged him with operating a vehicle under the influence of liquor and driving to endanger. Obama’s blood alcohol level was .14. The legal limit is .08.
…Obama has had some minor trouble while working at Conti Liquors, Framingham Police said. Last year, police conducted a sting by sending an underage man into the store to buy liquor. Obama sold the 19-year-old man booze without asking for an ID, police said. The store lost its license for three days.
In 2006, Obama also sold alcohol to two underage men using fake IDs, police said.
Here’s video of liquor store owner Parimal Patel talking to reporters.

Congressman: Obama uncle will have 'advantage' in avoiding deportation
by Stephen Dinan
Published on August 29, 2011
One congressman wants to know if President Obama's half-uncle will be granted "amnesty" under new rules the Obama administration announced earlier this month designed to let lower-priority illegal immigrants remain in the country.
Rep. Steve King, an Iowa Republican who has fought for an immigration crackdown, said Onyango Obama, a relative of the president, "will have an advantage … when it comes time to determine who is granted amnesty."
"This raises a troubling list of questions about the potential for preferential treatment," Mr. King said.
He and several other members of Congress have called for hearings to investigate the new rules, announced by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano two weeks ago.
Under those rules, immigrants who are in deportation proceedings will be evaluated and, if they are not deemed high priority targets, officials are allowed to use discretion to end proceedings.
Those under final orders for deportation are not subject to the new rules yet, though Ms. Napoltiano has asked a working group to see if it can provide discretion in those cases, too.
According to news reports, Onyango Obama is currently violating a deportation order.
Asked Tuesday morning whether he would be eligible for special treatment, Miss Napolitano told reporters she couldn't comment on a specific case.
"I really don't know about it," she said.

Obama's uncle is called a fugitive
Boston Globe ^ | August 31, 2011 | Maria Sacchetti and Dan Adams
The uncle of President Obama arrested here last week on drunken driving and other charges has been a fugitive from deportation since 1992, according to two federal law enforcement officials with knowledge of the case.
Onyango Obama, who is from Kenya and is known as the president's Uncle Omar on his father's side, had lived a quiet life in Massachusetts until last Wednesday, when police said the car he was driving darted in front of a police cruiser, nearly causing the officer to hit his car.
The federal officials, who spoke about Obama's immigration status on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak about the case, said Obama had been told to leave in 1992, but he did not go.
Obama is the second relative of the president to have defied a deportation order, reigniting debate over illegal immigration and raising questions about how a man who had lived in the United States illegally for years had managed to secure a job, a Massachusetts driver's license, and apparently, a federal Social Security number, without being detected by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.

(Boston Globe) With DUI arrest, Obama’s uncle should be subject to deportation
Boston Globe ^ | 9/1/11 | Boston Globe
Posted on September 1, 2011 4:42:16 AM EDT by raccoonradio
GETTING BEHIND the wheel after drinking heavily is a dangerously irresponsible act. To do so while in the country illegally shows even worse judgment. Deportation should be the expected result in such a case.
...Obama, who likely arrived here as a Kenyan student in the early 1960s, was the subject of a deportation order in 1992...
A national debate is under way regarding the proper role of local law enforcement in relation to illegal immigration. Some local police departments don’t want to jeopardize relationships with urban residents merely to help US Immigration and Customs Enforcement resolve administrative cases. But nearly everyone agrees that illegal immigrants who commit violent or serious crimes should go to the top of ICE’s priority list.
A first DUI offense in Massachusetts is a misdemeanor. But the potential for injury or death from any drunken driving incident is significant. Such a charge alone should trigger scrutiny by ICE under the federal Secure Communities program or other tracking system now in use. Technically, a violation isn’t even needed, since Obama is a fugitive who already has undermined the integrity of the immigration system by ignoring a deportation order. That alone can be sufficient to warrant expedited removal.
... Surely illegal immigrants who pose a threat to national or border security should be a higher priority for ICE agents than Obama, a man in his sixties who has had no reported prior offenses.
(snip)
ICE has limited resources and ordinarily wouldn’t waste money by pursuing elderly illegal immigrants who have been in the country without incident for decades. But Onyango Obama squandered that status by calling police attention to himself. The normal procedures should be followed in this case. If his defense is unpersuasive, he should be deported to Kenya.

RMV at the wheel: Time to cry uncle, Onyango
By Michael Graham | Thursday, September 1, 2011 | http://www.bostonherald.com
Op-Ed
You want to solve Massachusetts’ illegal immigration problem? Easy: Hand it over to the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
Because if Rachel Kaprielian and her government goons were in charge of enforcing these paperwork issues, Uncle Omar would have been rounded up long ago. Believe me, I know.
Two years ago, the Framingham police arrested me on orders from the RMV because I was driving with a revoked license. The fact that it was due entirely to a government paperwork error was irrelevant. The fact that the RMV’s policy at the time (and still is, as far as I know) was to revoke licenses without notifying drivers also made no difference.
I sat in the same Framingham jail that Obama Onyango should have been locked up in long ago.
Thousands of Massachusetts drivers have had the same experience: Some minor paperwork glitch or lost ticket for a long-forgotten infraction, and . . . BAM! There’s a soccer mom stuck on the side of the road with crying kids while the RMV tows away the family van. No excuses. No “what about the children?” angst. When your paperwork isn’t in order, you pay the price.
Period.
Now consider the case of Uncle Omar. As an illegal immigrant with a deportation order against him he somehow had a valid Massachusetts drivers license (a crime); a current and valid Social Security number (bigger crime); and was using these documents to submit tax documents to the Internal Revenue Service and the state Department of Revenue.
When an illegal immigrant is ordered deported, what happens to his Social Security number? Don’t ask. Well you can, but the Obama administration refuses to answer the question.
But we already know the answer. What happens is nothing. An American citizen forgets to update his car registration and he can get dragged into court. A criminal immigrant ignores a deportation order and spends 10 years sending the IRS his accurate mailing address and . . . nothing.
Outrages like the Obama case aren’t exceptions or oddities or even political favoritism. Gov. Deval Patrick said earlier this week that “illegal is illegal,” and President Barack Obama has repeatedly urged enforcement of immigration laws. If they’re serious, here are three simple, non-controversial steps politicians could take tomorrow:
First, the Social Security Administration could connect the numbers they give immigrants to their visa status. Once an immigrant’s status becomes illegal, give him 90 days and then revoke the Social Security number.
Second, when an immigrant gets a deportation order, simply cancel his Social Security number.
Finally, follow up on the millions of “no-match” letters the Social Security Administration has sent out to employers since 2004. When businesses know they’ll be fined starting 90 days after the letter arrives if the issue hasn’t been resolved, illegal workers will get replaced by (currently unemployed) legal residents. And the fines will more than cover the cost of enforcement.
More jobs for Americans, more revenue for the government and more justice for all. Simply by treating illegal immigrants the same way we Massachusetts drivers are treated.
So why won’t the president implement any of these policies? Because they would work.
Nicholas Guaman, charged with vehicular homicide in the death of Matthew Denice, and Onyango are part of our national immigration kabuki dance. Politicians pretend to enforce the law and illegal immigrants pretend to be afraid.
But until the next Obama Onyango is more worried about his paperwork status than a Massachusetts driver without an inspection sticker, the system will remain a joke.

White House: No special treatment of Obama's uncle
Salon ^ | Sep 01, 2011 | By Associated Press
The White House says it expects the arrest of President Barack Obama's illegal immigrant uncle to be handled like any other immigration case.
Press Secretary Jay Carney also said Thursday that Obama didn't know about the case involving his distant relative until being informed about it by staff.

Brown: ‘Uncle Omar’ should be deported
The Hill ^ | 09/07/11 | Justin Sink
Posted on September 7, 2011 10:10:35 AM EDT by markomalley
Sen. Scott Brown (R-Ma.) said Tuesday that Onyango Obama, President Barack Obama's long-lost uncle, should be deported from the United States after being arrested last week on drunk driving charges.
"Well, yeah. He's here illegally. He's obviously broken the law. I don't know enough about the details of the case, but, God, he's been running around for how long now?" Brown said in an interview on the Howie Carr Show. "Let him go through the process and see what happens."
Brown said that "in a fair world," Obama's uncle would be deported.
Onyango Obama, 67, was arrested last Wednesday when he nearly rammed his SUV into a police car in Framingham, Massachusetts. When asked if he would like to make a phone call, Onyango reportedly said, "I think I will call the White House."
The White House said last week that the president was unaware that his uncle was in the United States illegally, and would not intervene on his behalf.
"We expect it to be treated - and I refer you to ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and DHS [the Department of Homeland Security] - like any other immigration case," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
Onyango came to the United States to attend school, but ultimately dropped out. He was ordered to leave the country in 1992, but remained in the country and has worked at a liquor store for the past five years.
Onyango has pled not guilty to the charges stemming from his drunk driving arrest, and is currently being held in a Plymouth County, Ma. jail. Onyango's lawyer said that he will fight a potential deportation, arguing that he has been in the United States for nearly 50 years.
During the 2008 campaign, Zeituni Onyango -- Obama's aunt -- was found to be living as an illegal immigrant in public housing in South Boston. "Aunt Zeituni" had sought political asylum in 2002, but was ultimately denied. After a series of legal appeals, she was granted a waiver of deportation in 2010, in a decision that angered many anti-immigration activists.
Brown is currently enjoying a modest lead over possible Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren in the 2012 Massachusetts Senate race. 44 percent of voters favor Brown, versus 35 percent for Warren, according to a WBUR poll released Tuesday.

Obama’s uncle quietly released from jail
ONYANGO OBAMA
By Maria Sacchetti
Globe Staff / September 9, 2011
Officials released President Obama’s uncle from Plymouth County jail yesterday after holding him for more than two weeks on an immigration detainer for violating an order to return to his native Kenya in 1992.
Tweet 34 people Tweeted this.ShareThis .US officials refused to disclose any other information about Onyango Obama, who remained in the United States undetected until Framingham police arrested him Aug. 24 on drunken driving and other charges.
Yesterday, federal immigration officials refused to say whether the 67-year-old Framingham resident posted bond, whether they are keeping track of his whereabouts, or even whether they are still seeking his deportation, raising questions about public accountability in the case.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement website confirmed Obama’s release by listing him as “not in custody.’’
Although the website confirmed it, Brian P. Hale, an agency spokesman, said he would not comment on the case because privacy laws and the agency’s policies prohibit it. He said the database is accurate, however.
As a result of the immigration agency’s refusal to discuss the case, it is unclear what happened to Obama after he left the Plymouth County House of Correction - or whether he could be returned to jail.
An official at the Plymouth County House of Correction who would not give his name said yesterday afternoon that Obama was no longer in custody. He had been taken to Burlington, where US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has offices, he said.
In Framingham, the people who shared a modest frame house with Obama on a residential street said they did not know where he was. A co-worker at Conti Liquors, where Obama worked, said they had not heard of his release.
His Cleveland lawyers, Margaret Wong and Scott Bratton, were unavailable for comment, and an assistant said they had not been notified that he was released.
Onyango Obama was the half-brother of the president’s late father. At the time of his arrest, Obama allegedly told Framingham police, “I think I will call the White House’’ to arrange bail.
But last week the White House press secretary, Jay Carney, said the president did not expect his uncle to receive special treatment.
Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors tougher limits on immigration, said the immigration agency should be more transparent, especially in a case involving a relative of the president. She said the public deserves to know the circumstances of Obama’s release, since he violated a deportation order and is accused of drunken driving. In a criminal court, she said, that would be public information.
Obama pleaded not guilty in Framingham District Court to charges of drunken driving, negligent operation, and failing to yield.
“This whole nonsense about privacy is a policy,’’ Vaughan said. “It’s not the law. It’s a choice that [the immigration agency] is making. I think it’s very cowardly on [the agency’s] part, to be honest. Their behavior shows that they don’t want to be accountable to anybody.’’
Obama is the second relative from the president’s distant paternal side to have violated immigration law. Onyango Obama’s younger sister, Zeituni Onyango, violated a deportation order and lived quietly in Boston public housing until days before her nephew’s historic election in 2008, when her illegal status was leaked to the media. Based in part on the leak, and her increased exposure, a Boston immigration judge granted her asylum last year.
Onyango Obama came to America in 1963 to attend a prestigious preparatory school in Cambridge but dropped out and was initially ordered to leave the country in 1989. He appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, but lost in 1992.
Earlier this month, Bratton said Obama would fight deportation and hoped to remain in the United States. Obama has lived here for almost 50 years, since he was a young man under the limited supervision of the president’s late father.
Obama had worked for the past five years at Conti Liquors in Framingham, where he was praised as a good worker and beloved employee.

House chairman: Obama uncle’s got ‘backdoor amnesty’

The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said Friday that President Obama's half-uncle, an illegal immigrant who was picked up but has reportedly been released from jail, appears to have benefited from the new "backdoor amnesty" the administration announced last month.
"It appears there is a double standard — one for President Obama's family and one for everyone else," Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican, said. "Last year, President Obama's illegal immigrant aunt was granted asylum and now his illegal immigrant uncle has been released from [the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency] custody, even though he was arrested by authorities for drunk driving."
Mr. Smith said the case will be the first "test case" for a new Homeland Security policy announced last month that gives immigration authorities more discretion to let illegal immigrants go, rather than pursue efforts to deport them.
The Boston Globe reported Friday that Onyango Obama, the half-brother of the president's father, was released from jail Thursday after being held for more than two weeks on an immigration detainer after he was arrested on a drunk-driving charge.

Rep. Smith: ‘Uncle Omar’ shows Obama double standard
By Justin Sink - 09/09/11 12:05 PM ET
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) on Friday accused the White House of intervening on behalf of the president’s uncle after Onyango Obama was released from jail Thursday.
Onyango Obama was arrested in August for allegedly driving under the influence and nearly hitting a police car. He has been held in a Massachusetts jail since then on subsequent charges that he violated a court order to return to his native Kenya in 1992.
“It appears there is a double standard — one for President Obama’s family and one for everyone else,” Smith said in a news release. “Last year, President Obama’s illegal immigrant aunt was granted asylum and now his illegal immigrant uncle has been released from [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] custody, even though he was arrested by authorities for drunk driving.”
Federal immigration officials have declined to say why Onyango Obama was released or if they continue to seek his deportation. It is possible that the president’s uncle simply posted bail.
The White House insisted that the president was unaware that his uncle was in the United States illegally, and would not intervene on his behalf.
“We expect it to be treated — and I refer you to ICE and [the Department of Homeland Security] — like any other immigration case,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
But Smith said he sees the release of the president’s uncle as endemic of problems with the president’s recently announced immigration policy, in which officials were instructed to exercise prosecutorial discretion in deportation cases. Under that policy, the government would focus resources on deporting those considered national security or public safety threats. Smith requested in August that DUI arrests be considered severe enough to demand deportation proceedings, but DHS denied that request.
“President Obama’s backdoor amnesty allows drunk-driving illegal immigrants like his uncle to remain in the U.S.,” Smith said. “His immigration policies are a risk to both public safety and American lives. Why should citizens and legal immigrants be threatened by drunk driving illegal immigrants when the administration can deport them?”
Smith went on to say that the case was evidence that the president was “siding with illegal immigrants and not the American people.”
Smith is not the only Republican to argue that the president’s uncle should be deported. On Wednesday, Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) said that “in a fair world,” Onyango Obama would be forced to return to Kenya.
“Well, yeah. He’s here illegally. He’s obviously broken the law,” Brown said in an interview on the “Howie Carr Show.”
“I don’t know enough about the details of the case, but, God, he’s been running around for how long now? Let him go through the process and see what happens.”

Obama's Uncle is quietly released from jail and no one is keeping track of him
Ed Lasky
www.americanthinker.com
Here we go again. Anyone surprised?
The Boston Globe's Maria Sacchetti reports:
Officials released President Obama's uncle from Plymouth County jail yesterday after holding him for more than two weeks on an immigration detainer for violating an order to return to his native Kenya in 1992.
US officials refused to disclose any other information about Onyango Obama, who remained in the United States undetected until Framingham police arrested him Aug. 24 on drunken driving and other charges.
Yesterday, federal immigration officials refused to say whether the 67-year-old Framingham resident posted bond, whether they are keeping track of his whereabouts, or even whether they are still seeking his deportation, raising questions about public accountability in the case.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement website confirmed Obama's release by listing him as "not in custody.''
Onyango seemed blithely unconcerned when he was arrested a brief time ago for drunk driving. At the time of his arrest, Obama allegedly told Framingham police, "I think I will call the White House to arrange bail." Must be nice to have friends in high places!
Immigration experts expressed dismay. One of them, Jessica Vaughan said that "the public deserves to know the circumstances of Obama's release, since he violated a deportation order and is accused of drunken driving. In a criminal court, she said, that would be public information."
Onyango joins yet another Obama relative to have violated our immigration laws. His younger sister, Obama's aunt, violated a deportation order involving her illegal immigration status. When her lawbreaking was revealed, a Boston immigration judge granted her asylum.
The liberal and Barack Obama-loving Boston Globe had to throw in this last line:
Obama had worked for the past five years at Conti Liquors in Framingham, where he was praised as a good worker and beloved employee.
Of course, that is completely irrelevant and trivial. What does that have to do with the article? Are we supposed to be okay with his being released and continuing to be a lawbreaker because he was a good employee at a liquor store? Recall, his last arrest occurred because he was driving while drunk. What if his next arrest is for killing people driving while drunk? This is not a man who works in a hospice or works for the Red Cross. This is a man who peddles alcohol to people. Who cares if he is a beloved employee? "Beloved" -- isn't that a little over the top?
Anyone keeping track of how many days Barack Obama's relatives have been breaking the law in America and getting a pass from our officials?

Rep. King says Judiciary Committee should question Obama's 'Uncle Omar'
By Justin Sink - 09/12/11 03:56 PM ET
Rep. Steve King (R-IA), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said Monday that Congress should question President Obama's uncle Onyango Obama to see if he received preferential treatment during his deportation proceedings.
"We have to bring drunken 'Uncle Omar' in front of the House Judiciary Committee, drill down into this, and tell America what's going on," King said on Fox News.
Onyango was arrested last month for allegedly driving under the influence and nearly hitting a police car. He had been held in a Massachusetts jail on charges stemming from a 1992 immigration order to return to his native Kenya, but was released last Thursday.
"If any one of us … nearly ran over a police officer, we would face the full fury of the law," King said.
The congressman went on to say that he believed that the president's uncle would receive preferential treatment from the Department of Homeland Security, and cited the case of the president's aunt, who was discovered living in Boston as an illegal immigrant during the 2008 election. An immigration judge reversed an original court order and granted Zeituni Onyango, the president's aunt, political asylum in 2010.
"I watched as President Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, also evaded [Immigration and Customs Enforcement]," King said. "The sympathy, the bleeding heart, of [Department of Homeland Security Director] Janet Napolitano decided to use an administrative authority to grant President Obama's aunt asylum."
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said last week that he believed that Onyango's release on his own recognizance was indicative of unfair influence.
“It appears there is a double standard — one for President Obama’s family and one for everyone else,” Smith said in a news release. “Last year, President Obama’s illegal immigrant aunt was granted asylum and now his illegal immigrant uncle has been released from [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] custody, even though he was arrested by authorities for drunk driving.”
The White House has said that they have not tried to intervene on Onyango's behalf.
“We expect it to be treated — and I refer you to ICE and [the Department of Homeland Security] — like any other immigration case,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
But Republicans see the case as an opportunity to hit the president on his recently announced immigration policy, in which officials were instructed to exercise prosecutorial discretion in deportation cases. Under that policy, the government would focus resources on deporting those considered national security or public safety threats.
“President Obama’s backdoor amnesty allows drunk-driving illegal immigrants like his uncle to remain in the U.S.,” Smith said. “His immigration policies are a risk to both public safety and American lives. Why should citizens and legal immigrants be threatened by drunk driving illegal immigrants when the administration can deport them?”

Obama's Uncle Due in Court in Drunk Driving Case
Published September 29, 2011 | Associated Press
President Barack Obama's uncle is expected to appear in a Massachusetts court on a drunken driving charge.
Onyango Obama pleaded not guilty after he was arrested last month in Framingham. Police allege that he registered a reading of 0.14 percent on a blood-alcohol breath test, which is above the state's legal driving limit of 0.08 percent.
Obama, who is originally from Kenya, is the half-brother of the president's late father.
He was initially held without bail on a detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials on allegations he violated an order issued nearly two decades ago to return to Kenya.
He was later released and ordered to regularly check in with immigration officials.
He is scheduled to appear in Framingham District Court on Thursday.

President’s illegal uncle giggles in court
By John Zaremba | Thursday, September 29, 2011 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Local Coverage
Photo by Ted Fitzgerald
A giggling Onyango Obama -- the president’s illegal alien half uncle -- made a brief appearance in Framingham District Court today on charges he was drunk when he nearly struck an unmarked police cruiser last month.
Obama, 67, was visibly amused at the media spectacle, stifling laughter several times before his 30-second court appearance where a judge set a Nov. 17 pre-trial conference.
Obama did not acknowledge a Herald reporter’s questions upon arrival at Framingham District Court and neither he nor his lawyer made any comment on his way out where they were followed to the parking lot by a horde of media.
His attorney, P. Scott Bratton, did, however, tell the Herald that Obama, who has been living illegally in the United States for nearly 20 years, has returned to work at Conti Liquors in Framingham.
"He has. He’s doing well," Bratton said.
Obama was accompanied in court today by two attorneys and an unidentified male supporter. The courtroom was packed with some members of the media, but mostly with other defendants hauled in for the usual round of arraignments at the county court located in suburban Boston.
Onyango, who had a valid driver’s license and Social Security card when he was arrested last month, was in the U.S. illegally having already faced a 1992 deportation order. Immigration officials have ordered him to "check in" with them.
When he was arrested by Framingham police on suspicion of drunken driving Aug. 24, he suggested his first call should be to the White House. A spokesman for the president told the Herald that call was never made. He actually called his boss at Conti’s Liquors.
Middlesex District Attorney Gerard T. Leone has also vowed to prosecute Obama to the fullest extent possible on the OUI charge.

Agree. We should not allow an illegal to stay. Make them do it the right way.
Its a double edged sword. Either you end up spending billions of dollars to deport illegals (raise taxes) or you let them stay and face the wrath of people accusing them of taking American Jobs.
Personally, I don't really care what they do with him or any other illegal. You can order an illegal to leave but if they don't have the money for a plane ticket or bus fare to travel back to the country then you can't complain about them still being in the country and obviously he doesn't have any money to return seeing as he works at a Liquor store.

President Obama's Uncle: Picture Proof ... He's Still Selling 80 Proof
The pictures tell the story ... President Obama's uncle, wheeling and dealing behind a liquor store counter. So there's no doubt, he's still dodging the deportation bullet ... at least for now.
Onyango Obama was busted for DUI August 24th in Framingham, Massachusetts ...after almost smashing into a cop car. Immigration officials learned about the arrest, and then discovered the 67-year-old was in the U.S. illegally. In fact, Onyango was on the receiving end of a 1992 deportation order, but it was never enforced.
While Onyango challenges the deportation order, the pictures show ... he's making a living at the Conti Liquor Store.
He's due in court tomorrow for a hearing on the DUI charge.

Hey 333 - you hate illegals so much I would expect you to be praising your president for the pace at which he is deporting them:
Once again, Repubs are all talk and Dems actually have to do the work
President Barack Obama says he backs immigration reform, announcing last month an initiative to ease deportation policies, but he has sent home more than 1 million illegal immigrants in 2 1/2 years — on pace to deport more in one term than George W. Bush did in two[/u]

President Obama’s uncle wants OUI case tossed
By Marie Szaniszlo
Thursday, November 17, 2011 - Updated 11 minutes ago
President Obama’s illegal alien half-uncle argued in court today his arrest on a drunken driving charge this summer violated his constitutional rights and he wants evidence suppressed and the case thrown out.
Onyango Obama’s lawyer filed a motion to suppress in Framingham District Court today, claiming he questions the legality of the illegal alien’s Aug. 24 arrest on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol and whether the arrest violated Obama’s Fourth Amendment rights against unlawful search and seizure.
The motion is to suppress the entire traffic stop by police that night, on claims Obama was not committing any motor vehicle violations that night at 7.
Obama blew a .14 on the Breathalyzer, police reported, well above the legal limit of .08.
Obama, a liquor store clerk who entered the United States illegally from Kenya and has defied a deportation order for nearly two decades, is accused of driving drunk and nearly crashing in to an unmarked Framingham police cruiser.
Obama is the half-brother of President Obama’s father.
A hearing on the motion is scheduled for Jan. 12. Obama, who is 67 years old and was called “Uncle Omar” by the president in his book “Dreams From My Father,” has pleaded not guilty.
At last report, Obama had resumed work at Conti Liquors in Framingham after his release from custody

Obama uncle seeks police officer’s driving record
By Associated Press | Wednesday, January 11, 2012 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Local Coverage
Photo by AP (file)/MetroWest Daily News, Ken McGagh
BOSTON - A lawyer for President Barack Obama’s uncle, an illegal immigrant who is charged with drunken driving, says he will ask prosecutors to turn over the driving record of the police officer who stopped him.
Onyango Obama, the half-brother of the president’s late father, was charged with drunken driving in Framingham in August after he allegedly rolled through a stop sign and nearly caused a police cruiser to strike his SUV.
Obama’s lawyer said Wednesday that he will ask prosecutors for Officer Val Krishtal’s driving record. A court hearing is scheduled Thursday.
Krishtal was injured in November when he lost control of his police cruiser and crashed into a stone wall while responding to reports of gunshots.
Framingham police declined to comment Wednesday. A spokeswoman for prosecutors said they would respond in court.

Judge: Cop who nabbed Obama’s uncle must release driving records
Boston Herald ^ | January 12, 2012 | John Zaremba
A Framingham District Court judge today ordered the release of the on-duty driving records of the Framingham cop who busted President Obama’s illegal-alien half-uncle on a drunken-driving rap this summer.
Onyango Obama’s defense team will receive the records they’d requested on Val Krishtal, the veteran patrolman who pulled the man over after nearly rear-ending him when he turned into traffic.

Massachusetts Cops Cry Foul Over DUI Defense of Obama's Half-Uncle

Massachusetts Cops Cry Foul Over DUI Defense of Obama's Half-Uncle
Massachusetts police say they're discouraged by a defense lawyer's request to trawl through the record of the officer who pulled over President Barack Obama's half-uncle last year. Onyango Obama, 67, was arrested Aug. 24 and charged with driving under the influence.
Framingham police said he hit 0.14 on a blood alcohol test, nearly double the legal limit of 0.08. Obama, who has fought attempts to deport him to Kenya as an alleged illegal immigrant since 1989, briefly appeared Thursday in Framingham District Court, where his attorney, Scott Bratton, said he wanted a copy of arresting officer Val Krishtal's official on-duty driving record.
Krishtal was on duty when he lost control of his cruiser and crashed into a stone wall in November, according to records obtained by NBC station WHDH of Boston. The investigation into that crash reported that "there have been numerous incidents investigated by the Framingham Police Department over the past several years involving Officer Krishtal and the operation of a motor vehicle while on duty."
In court Thursday, Bratton said he wanted Krishtal's records to "see if there is a pattern of conduct of bad driving behavior on the part of the arresting officer."
That request annoyed the Massachusetts police union, which said the officer's driving record was irrelevant to whether Obama was guilty of DUI.

The only issue is if he was over the limit at the time of his arrest.

Obama's Uncle, Onyango Obama, Due in Court for Driving Drunk
By Michael Billera: Subscribe to Michael's RSS feed
March 1, 2012 9:04 AM EST
President Barack Obama's uncle is heading into a Massachusetts courtroom on Thursday for driving drunk. However, his lawyers will be asking the judge to toss out any statements he made to police as well as the results of his blood-alcohol test.
Onyango Obama, the half-brother of the president's late father, was a arrested in Framingham, Mass. last August. A police officer pulled him over after not properly stopping at a stop sign. Reports indicate that he made a so-called rolling stop, nearly crashing his sport utility vehicle into a police cruiser, reported CBS.
Police said that the 67-year-old registered a 0.14 on the blood-alcohol test, nearly double the legal limit of .08. Obama pleaded not guilty to all charges.
"The male would not allow me to speak and continued to interrupt me," wrote the arresting officer in his report, as previously reported. Obama "continued arguing the point with me. He felt that his 'stop' was adequate enough, though he did acknowledge that he should have yielded to me as I was in a main lane of travel that he was attempting to enter."

The report said that the officer asked Obama how much he had to drink, to which he initially nothing. The officer allegedly told Obama that there was strong odor of alcohol on him to which he admitted he had only one beer. The officer then reportedly told him that his behavior was indicative an intoxicated individual, Obama allegedly claimed to have two beers.
The officer began to perform a field sobriety test. The officer said Obama would disobey orders and begin the test before being instructed to do so. When asked to perform a nine-step walk, the officer allegedly witnessed Obama stumble and barely able to keep himself up.
And during a horizontal gaze test, where the driver is asked to follow an officer's finger, Obama allegedly had trouble concentrating. The officer subsequently placed him under arrest.

President’s illegal uncle surrenders license for 45 days
By John Zaremba
Tuesday, March 27, 2012 -
Onyango Obama — the president’s illegal alien half uncle — has admitted to sufficient facts today in his drunken driving bust and his case is being continued without a finding for one year —but he must surrender his license.
Obama, 67, was ordered to turn over his license for 45 days, effective today, a Framingham District Court judge ruled. He left court without speaking to the press.
Obama had been waging an aggressive legal battle against Framingham cops ever since he was pulled over Aug. 24 for driving erratically and blowing 0.14 on a Breathalyzer, police reported. But his attorney today said it was time to move on.
“After a thorough review, we felt it was in his interests to end the matter without any further proceedings. He’s glad to have this behind him,” said Obama’s attorney P. Scott Bratton.
The attorney added that Obama wants to “get on with his life” and to “get on with his normal quiet existence in society.”
As for Obama’s illegal alien status, his attorney added the deportation proceedings were due to his failure to “renew immigration paperwork.” Bratton said he expects that to be resolved.
When he was arrested by Framingham police, he suggested his first call should be to the White House. A spokesman for the president told the Herald that call was never made. He actually called his boss at Conti’s Liquors.
Obama, who has been living illegally in the United States for nearly 20 years, has returned to work at Conti Liquors in Framingham.

Uncle Obama on the roads again
RMV approves ‘hardship license’
By John Zaremba and O’Ryan Johnson | Tuesday, April 3, 2012 | http://www.bostonherald.com |
Just a week after he copped a plea in a drunken-driving rap, President Obama’s illegal-alien uncle has landed a hardship driver’s license from the Registry of Motor Vehicles, making it perfectly legal for him to drive in Massachusetts — even though the feds say he doesn’t belong here.
Onyango Obama, 67, who lost his regular license for 45 days last week, scored his limited license yesterday from the Registry’s Wilmington branch, after convincing a hearing officer that life without wheels would have posed an undue hardship on his livelihood as a liquor-store manager. Obama bolstered his case with a letter from his employer, Conti Liquors, as well as proof that he’d enrolled in an alcohol-treatment program.
“He met all of the criteria,” RMV spokeswoman Sara Lavoie said.
Of the state’s decision to award Obama a license even though the federal government considers him an illegal alien, Lavoie would only say, “Registry business is based on Registry records.”
The license allows Obama to drive from noon to midnight.
The license award drew fire from one advocate of tough enforcement on illegals, Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson.
“Our democracy is predicated on law,” Hodgson said. “When we start to interpret these laws differently and manipulate them the way we want them to work for certain people, we start to send a mixed message to people that the law doesn’t really matter. Its subject to interpretation. You don’t have to follow the law. They find ways to justify it. We need the laws to be very clear. We need ‘no’ to mean ‘no’ again.”
Hodgson, along with sheriffs in Plymouth and Worcester counties, stood up for Secure Communities, a program that feeds local police fingerprint checks into federal databases to check the citizenship status of accused criminals. Gov. Deval Patrick has refused to enroll the state in the program.
Obama, a Kenyan national, lost his license last week after admitting in court that Framingham cops had sufficient evidence to convict him in an August OUI bust. His lawyer, P. Scott Bratton, said Obama has an immigration hearing next month.
A judge continued Obama’s OUI case without a finding for one year, meaning he’ll face no further punishment if he stays out of trouble. Obama is the half-brother of President Obama’s late father, and the older brother of Zeituni Onyango, who was granted asylum in 2010.

Obama's illegal immigrant uncle prepares to fight deportation process
Last Updated: 10:04 AM, April 13, 2012
Posted: 10:03 AM, April 13, 2012
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- President Obama's illegal immigrant half-uncle is preparing to fight new efforts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deport him, myFOXboston.com reported Friday.
Onyango Obama met with immigration officials Thursday as they began the process of sending him back to Kenya, according to the Boston Herald.
He is required to regularly check in with immigration officials pending his removal, ICE spokesman Brian Hale was quoted as saying.
The Kenyan national, who is the half-brother of the President's father, was ordered to leave the country in 1992 but never left.
His immigration status came to light after he was arrested in August last year for driving under the influence.
Onyango Obama was pulled over in Framingham, Mass., about 20 miles southwest of Boston, after making a sudden right turn at a stop sign and nearly colliding with a police cruiser. He initially denied being drunk but later admitted to having had "two beers."
He had a blood-alcohol content of .14 percent, above the legal limit of 0.08.
Obama plans on fighting the deportation and has hired the same attorney who helped the President's half-aunt win asylum in 2010, myFOXboston.com reported.

Did I miss something here? Where does the news article say he has either a driver's license or a social security number?
Anyone who knows how to drive (and some who don't) can drive. Is it legal? No. But when you are an illegal immigrant anyway, how big a leap is it to drive a vehicle?
Guess what? Some people have phony driver's licenses. I know this for a fact because I know someone who drove for 3 years using a bogus driver's license. Fortunately, they didn't get pulled over by the cops during that time and also fortunate for other folks on the road, they still had auto insurance. There are more folks driving around with no auto insurance than you'd care to know.

Obama’s uncle ordered to report regularly to ICE
By John Zaremba | Friday, April 13, 2012 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Local Coverage
President Obama’s illegal-alien uncle met yesterday with federal immigration officials, who say they’re pressing ahead with his deportation as he prepares his legal fight to stay in the country.
Onyango Obama, 67, of Framingham will be required to report regularly to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials after their meeting at an undisclosed location, the agency said in a statement.
“ICE met with Mr. Onyango and his attorney today,” ICE spokesman Brian Hale said in a statement yesterday, referring to the president’s uncle by the last name the agency has on file for him. “Pursuant to this meeting, Mr. Onyango will be required to check in regularly with immigration officials pending his removal. Absent a change in his immigration status or any related court proceedings, Mr. Onyango will be required to report to ICE in the coming weeks in order to effectuate his departure from the United States.”
Obama is a Kenyan national who has lived in the U.S. since 1963 and was ordered deported in 1992, after what his attorney said was an unwitting failure to renew his visa. His immigration status was unearthed in August, when a Framingham cop arrested him for drunken driving. In a plea deal last month, he lost his license for 45 days but scored a special “hardship” license just days later, arguing he must drive to his job as a liquor store manager.
Obama’s immigration attorney, Margaret Wong, could not be reached yesterday. Wong helped Obama’s sister, Zeituni Onyango, win asylum in 2010.
Immigration experts have predicted Obama will appeal the 20-year-old deportation order and apply for asylum on the grounds that the Kenyan embassy was bombed by al-Qaeda in 1998, and that hostility toward the U.S. would put the president’s uncle in danger. The Obamas reportedly have hundreds of relatives living in western Kenya.

I think I am a mutt. My father's family immigrated here from England prior to the revolutionary war. However, my maternal grandmother moved here from France when she married my grandfather. He claimed to be all American, whatever that is. Rumor has it that there was a Cherokee Indian princess somewhere in his ancestry.

How did he get a drivers license?
I am not privy to his immigration status and details, but if he was originally admitted to the United States legally on anything other than a "visitor visa" then he could have easily and legally obtained a driver's license.
How did he get a social security number?
Again, I am not privy to his immigration status and details, but if he was admitted to the United States legally on a non-tourist visa, chances are that he could be legally issued with a social security number. Typically, the numbers issued are marked as "not eligible from employment" (a fact that's prominently figured on the card itself) and are used for tax and identification purposes. A typical example is the social security numbers that are granted to students from overseas who come to study in Universities.
I mean... I just don't get this. I don't hold Barack Obama responsible for everyone in his family, but there's a lot of weird shit going down here.
Maybe, maybe not. Even if he is not legally allowed in the U.S. today, the SSN and DL could have been legally obtained in the past. And even if he was never here legally, then I still don't see anything all that weird, to be honest. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants all over the country have social security numbers and driver's licenses. Some are stolen. Others are "legitimate" but obtained with fraudulent means.
As far as I can tell, the INS is set on deporting him. We will see how the case plays out in Courts - these things can take a while. But, I really don't see anything that can be pinned on Obama about this case. Even if he had any sort of communications with this guy in the past, I very much doubt they included discussions of immigration status, and it doesn't look like he intervened at all to help him.
