- 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. BuzzFeed
