"The Romeikes can stay!" – Stunning Turn of Events, Homeland Security Says German Homeschooling Family is Now Allowed to Stay in USA Permanently

Aimee Herd : Mar 4, 2014  Erica Ritz - The Blaze

"This is an incredible victory that can only be credited to our Almighty God." -Michael Farris

RomeikesEarlier this week, the US Supreme Court refused the case of the German homeschoolers, the Romeikes, who sought asylum in the US so they could home educate their children legally.

It was thought that the family would have to return to Germany, where they were threatened with huge fines, and even faced possible jail time or losing custody of their children, as homeschooling is against the law there.

But in a sudden and somewhat shocking turnaround on Tuesday afternoon, the Homeschool Legal Defense Association was contacted by a member of Homeland Security, who informed the legal team that the Romeike family had been granted "indefinite deferred status"—meaning they would be allowed to stay in the US permanently.

Michael Farris, of the HSLDA, posted the following on Facebook:

BREAKING NEWS!!! The Romeikes can stay!!!

Today, a Supervisor with the Department of Homeland Security called a member of our legal team to inform us that the Romeike family has been granted This means that the Romeikes can stay in the United States permanently (unless they are convicted of a crime, etc.)

This is an incredible victory that can only be credited to our Almighty God.

We also want to thank those of who spoke up on this issue--including that long ago White House petition. We believe that the public outcry made this possible while God delivered the victory.

This is an amazing turnaround in 24 hours. Praise the Lord.

Proverbs 21:1 - "The king's heart is like a stream of water directed by the Lord, He guides it wherever He pleases."
