Gay Brazilian married in US may face deportation

[tishaLA]

A Brazilian man recently reunited with his Massachusetts husband could face deportation.

U.S. Sen. John Kerry had pressed federal officials to allow 31-year-old Genesio Oliveira back into the country. In June, federal officials temporarily allowed him to come back on humanitarian grounds.

But Oliveira said Monday that Attorney General Eric Holder has declined to reverse the immigration ruling that initially separated him from his 49-year-old husband, Tim Coco of Haverhill. Now Oliveira said he could be forced to return to Brazil in six months.

Oliveira said the couple thought Holder would reverse that initial immigration decision. ]link:www.salon.com/wires/us/2010/11/08/D9JC59E81_us_gay_marriage_asylum/index.html|Salon]
