Omar Okech Obama
He sometimes goes by a variation of the name of his father Onyango Obama.[137][138] Half-uncle of Barack Obama,[139][dead link] born on June 3, 1944, in Nyang'oma Kogelo. The eldest son of Onyango and his third wife Sarah Obama, he moved to the U.S. in October 1963 when he was 17 years old as part of Tom Mboya's Airlift Africa project.[137][140] Once he arrived in the U.S., his half-brother, Barack Obama, Sr., found him a place at a boys' school then known as Browne & Nichols, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[137] He later dropped out of school and changed his name to O. Onyango Obama.[137] He has operated a liquor store in Framingham, where he resided as of March 2011.[137][141] President Obama lived with Onyango in the 1980s while Obama was a student at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[142] He was subject to a deportation order in 1989.[143] The Boston Herald reports that he may have illegally obtained a driver's license and Social Security number.[144] After an unsuccessful appeal, he was given a new deportation order in 1992.[143][145] He was arrested on August 24, 2011 for driving under the influence,[143] and subsequently held in jail until September 9, 2011, on a federal immigration warrant.[138][146] He pleaded to certain parts of the DUI and his DUI case was continued until March 2013.[140] His immigration case was remanded, on November 30, 2012, by the Board of Immigration Appeals to the Executive Office for Immigration Review for reconsideration of the original order of deportation that was issued in 1986 and re-issued in 1992 after his appeals failed.[147][148] An immigration judge ruled on January 30, 2013 that Onyango Obama will receive a deportation hearing.[140] Onyango's attorney's outlined that Onyango's legal defense for the December 3, 2013 deportation hearing would be a reliance on the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, since Onyango has resided in the U.S. since before January 1, 1972, the cutoff date of the 1986 amnesty.[149] At the December 3, 2013, deportation hearing, Immigration Judge Leonard I. Shapiro ruled that Onyango is eligible for legal permanent residency and Onyango will receive a green card.[150]
