Via Gay Politics Report: U.S. to consider same-sex marriages in deportation cases

  • U.S. to consider same-sex marriages in deportation cases
     
  • The Department of Homeland Security this week said it will take into account the marriages of binational same-sex couples when deciding whether to pursue deportation of a foreign national. The announcement was sought by House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and more than 80 other members of Congress who urged the Obama administration to stop deporting the gay and lesbian spouses of U.S. citizens while the courts grapple with the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act.
