A Christian family who fled Germany more than 15 years ago after facing prosecution for homeschooling their children is now facing deportation under President Joe Biden at the same time that hundreds of thousands of migrants are being placed throughout the nation.
Uwe and Hannelore Romeike are today the proud parents of seven children and one grandchild, having for the past 15 years resided in Tennessee since leaving their home country after facing criminal charges for homeschooling their children. The country forbids homeschooling, mandating lessons on tolerance and inclusivity that the government argues can only be taught in public schools.
Five years after arriving in the U.S. and pleading for asylum, their request was denied under the Obama administration.
“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.”
