"Tennessee Family's Deportation Looms as Homeschooling Decision Haunts"

Uwe and Hannelore Romeike, a German family who fled to the U.S. 15 years ago to homeschool their children, are now facing deportation. The family had been fined in Germany for homeschooling, which is illegal there. Initially, an immigration judge found their asylum claim appropriate, but it was later denied by higher courts. The family's attorney argues that they have a well-founded fear of persecution if they are sent back to Germany. The Romeike family has been living legally in the U.S. for 15 years and is seeking to remain in their Tennessee home.
