Boston.com reports today that Uncle Omar has been released from jail.
In case you have forgotten, Uncle Omar is Onyango Obama. He was arrested for drunk driving on August 24 by Framingham, Massachusetts police.
The article reports:
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.
Is the job at Conti Liquors in Framingham a job Americans won’t do? Otherwise, he is taking a job away from an American while he is here illegally. Did the liquor store know he was here illegally? Did they ever check? How many Uncle Omars are out there working illegallly while Americans are unemployed?
The article also reports:
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.
If his name was John Smith, would he still be in jail?
