Undocumented Nigerian woman fears deportation, separation from spouse

Yetunde Orungbemi is smitten. The kind of love that gives you butterflies in your stomach.

Yet she faces the prospect of being estranged from her African-American husband and deported back to a country she barely knows.

Welcome to the complexities of the U.S. immigration system.

Orungbemi, who is of Nigerian origin, says the emotional weight of the court case and possibility of separation from her husband is overwhelming.

“It would be a nightmare,” she says. “I’d have to make my way without my husband beside me and as a married woman that wouldn’t be pleasurable.”

Furore over Australian detention of immigrant children

MELBOURNE, 5 March 2013 (IRIN) - Australia is failing in its international obligations to protect the rights of close to 2,000 children now in immigration detention, say rights groups and legal experts. 

“You cannot underestimate the human cost of detaining children,” Jeroen Van Hove, the coordinator of the International Detention Coalition (IDC), an umbrella group of 258 members (including organizations) working in 50 countries around the world, based in Belgium, told IRIN, describing Australia’s detention regimes as one of the “harshest” in the world.
