CLEVELAND -- The aunt of President Barack Obama, who was living in Cleveland for a time, will get to stay in the United States for now.

A judge issued a stay in the deportation case of Zeituni Onyango, 56.

She fled to Cleveland from Boston last year when it was made known that she had been illegally in the United States since 2004.

With the stay, Onyango was able to attend her nephew's inauguration but her representative said there's been no contact with the president.

"She hasn't reached out to him and he just found out about it before the election," said Mike Rogers. "I don't know what he can do at this point accept let it go through the legal system."

Onyango moved back to Boston from Cleveland late last month. An immigration hearing is scheduled for April 1.
