Twenty-seven members of Congress have lent their support to the Romeike family, signing a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder urging him to grant the family asylum in the United States.
The family fled Germany in 2010 after the country threatened to take their children because they decided to homeschool. They were originally granted asylum, but U.S. authorities overruled the decision in 2012 and roughly two weeks ago, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with U.S. officials to deny the Romeike family asylum.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
