About fifteen years ago Uew and Hannelore Romeike fled to the United States from Germany after they were fined for homeschooling their children.
After they were in the USA for five years their asylum claim was denied after authorities said that they weren’t persecuted.
“The goal in Germany is for an open, pluralistic society,” the Justice Department wrote in a legal brief at the time. “Teaching tolerance to children of all backgrounds helps to develop the ability to interact as a fully functioning citizen in Germany.”
However, an immigration judge was sympathetic to the Romeike family and authorities allowed the family to stay.
“[Homeschooling] is illegal [in Germany],” Hannelore Romeike said. Adding that if they are sent back they will face persecution like before.
At the time the immigration board believed that the family’s fear was “well-founded.”
“They found that the Romeike family did have a well-founded fear of persecution based on their participation in a particular social category, that being homeschoolers,” Kevin Boden, an attorney representing the family, said.

As they are supposed to the Romeike family went to a routine check-in at an immigration office and was told to return in one month from that day for self-deportation. Uwe and Hannelore Romeike, have seven children. Five are adults, and two are under the age of 18.
The Biden administration is going to try and deport them.
