This would be a great opportunity for the Obama administration to show that things have changed:
Brian Andersen and Anton Tanumihardja face separation tomorrow as Tanumihardja could be deported back to his native Indonesia.
In August, the Obama administration announced that bi-national gay couples may be considered lower-priority cases in the overwhelmed immigration system as reported by the Advocate.
Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security, announced a case-by-case review was to be enforced by an intra-agency working group that would evaluate unresolved deportation orders. An unnamed senior administration official later clarified to the Advocate “that cases deemed low-priority can include those of individuals with strong community ties, with community contributions, and with family relationships. We consider LGBT families to be families in this context."
