Please consider signing this peition: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/immediate-action-requested-romeikes%E2%80%94grant-permanent-legal-status-persecuted-german-homeschool-family/06vqtgCp?m=t

It is in regards to a homeschool family from Germany who have been permitted to stay, but now the Obama administration will be deporting them soon.  Germany is a country that forbids its population to homeschool and they would likely have their children removed from them if they return and continue to homeschool - which is why they came to the US in the first place.  You can read more about them here:  http://www.hslda.org/courtreport/V26N2/V26N201.asp

It should be noted that they were granted the right to stay by the court process in the US.  However, Obama's administration intervened single handedly through ICE in order to deport this family back to Germany specifically stating, "ICE argues that the U.S. law recognizes the “broad power of the state to prohibit or regulate homeschooling,” and that this, among other things, should disqualify the granting of asylum. ICE writes that Germany’s harsh treatment of homeschoolers is merely prosecution, rather than persecution. ICE lawyers write that “[e]ven were such fear[s] objectively reasonable, these sanctions would only amount to prosecution.”"

Yeah - I'm really not a fan of this administration.  Please help this family and sign the petition.  Here are the specific directions if you get confused.
