Found in a rundown Boston estate: Barack Obama?s aunt Zeituni Onyango

Barack Obama has lived one version of the American Dream that has taken him to the steps of the White House. But a few miles from where the Democratic presidential candidate studied at Harvard, his Kenyan aunt and uncle, immigrants living in modest circumstances in Boston, have a contrasting American story.

Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama?s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.
In his memoir Mr Obama describes the joy of meeting his father?s family during his first visit to Kenya in 1988. Aunt Zeituni, then a computer programmer at Kenya Breweries in Nairobi, is portrayed as a feisty woman who proclaims herself ?the champion dancer?. Uncle Omar, by contrast, remains a mysterious figure who left for America and never came back. At one point in the book a half-sister tells Mr Obama that people ?like our Uncle Omar, in Boston? move to the West.

?They promise to return after completing school. They say they?ll send for the family once they get settled. At first they write once a week. Then it?s just a month. Then they stop writing completely. No one sees them again.?

Aunt Zeituni and Uncle Omar are the children of Mr Obama?s grandfather Hussein Onyango Obama, by his third wife ? the woman Mr Obama calls ?Granny? because she raised his father. Mr Obama?s father, Barack Sr, was Onyango Obama?s son by his second wife, Akumu. That makes Zeituni and Omar a half-sister and half-brother of Mr Obama?s father, or Mr Obama?s half-aunt and half-uncle.

Did you get that all down Scott :142smilie

Barack Obama?s family in Kenya stops media interviews
October 30th, 2008

By ERIC OLOO, Daily Nation

The Kenya family of US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has halted all media engagements until after the US presidential election on November 4 .

The move has been taken to give Obama?s paternal grandmother, Mama Sarah Onyango Obama a break, according to a family member Mr Said Obama.

In the recent past, a battery of local and international journalists have been visiting the home on a daily basis to seek interviews from the 85-year old granny.

But Mr Said Obama said the family would open up to the media on November 5, a day after the elections.

And on Wednesday, Siaya District police chief Mr Johnston Ipara said security officers would restrict entry to the home to ensure the family privacy is guaranteed

?People who visit the family?s home in K?Ogelo will be restrained from conducting interviews to the family members,? he said

Mr Ipara added the move was taken to ensure that people, especially the media, do not pre-empt the outcome of the US elections by using comments from the family members.

?We do not want Mama Sarah Obama to be disturbed at the moment she needs time to monitor the elections as they unfold,? said Ipara.

He said all visitors to the home would be thoroughly screened by the police before being allowed in.

AP: Obama aunt from Kenya living in US illegally

WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama's aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned. Zeituni Onyango, 56, referred to as "Aunti Zeituni" in Obama's memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request, a person familiar with the matter told the AP late Friday. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango's case.

Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one of them a federal law enforcment official. The information they made available is known to officials in the federal government, but the AP could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved in its release.

Onyango's refusal to leave the country would represent an administrative, non-criminal violation of U.S. immigration law, meaning such cases are handled outside the criminal court system. Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the United States.

The AP could not reach Onyango immediately for comment. No one answered the telephone number listed in her name late Friday. It was unclear why her request for asylum was rejected in 2004.

Onyango is not a relative whom Obama has discussed in campaign appearances and, unlike Obama's father and grandmother, is not someone who has been part of the public discussion about his personal life.

A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, Kelly Nantel, said the government does not comment on an individual's citizenship status or immigration case.

Onyango's case?coming to light just days before the presidential election?led to an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday's election to be approved at least at the level of ICE regional directors, the U.S. law enforcement official told the AP.

The unusual directive suggests that the Bush administration is sensitive to the political implications of Onyango's case coming to light so close to the election.

Kenya is in eastern Africa between Somalia and Tanzania. The country has been fractured in violence in recent years, including a period of two months of bloodshed after December 2007 that killed 1,500 people.

The disclosure about Onyango came just one day after Obama's presidential campaign confirmed to the Times of London that Onyango, who has lived quietly in public housing in South Boston for five years, was Obama's half aunt on his father's side.

It was not immediately clear how Onyango might have qualified for public housing with a standing deportation order.

If I brought them here -I would be.

You don't know much about immigration process.

Had to go through mounds of paperwork to prove to INS that I was finacially able to provide for her.

Don't know how O's Aunt got here--because O sure couldn't have been her petitioner back then-- with no home-negative net worth and credit card debt. :kiss:
