Zeituni Onyango, the aunt of Barack Obama who has lived in the US for
the past eight years, four of them illegally, is preparing for a crucial immigration hearing in Boston on Wednesday that could see her deported back to her native Kenya.

The 56-year-old woman, described affectionately by Obama as "Auntie Zeituni" in his bestselling memoir Dreams from My Father, is thought to have come to America in about 2000, living most the time in Boston. But in 2003 she became mired in immigration proceedings that culminated in a court order the following year ordering her deportation.
