Church Community Threatens Civil Disobedience if Romeike's Are Deported

660-Romeike-familyResidents in Morristown, Tennessee are threatening civil disobedience if the homeschooling German Romeike family is deported.

From Todd Starnes with Fox News:

Christians in an east Tennessee community are vowing to engage in civil disobedience if the Obama administration initiates deportation proceedings against a Southern Baptist family from Germany who sought asylum in the United States so that they could home school their children.

“It may require civil disobedience with this bunch,” said Rep. Phil Roe (R-Tenn.), who represents the congressional district where the Romeike family lives.

“I am furious about this,” the congressman told me. “You’ve got law-abiding people who did everything right who simply want to home school their kids. We used to be that great shining city on a hill. There’s some rust on that city if we are doing free people this way.”

Southern Baptist pastor Dean Haun said he and others in his community are willing to go to jail to save the family from deportation.

“If that’s what it took, yes,” the pastor said. “This is an assault in the face of Christianity in America.”
