Barack Obama’s drunk-driving, illegal alien uncle was ordered to leave the country nearly two decades ago but refused. He has since been living in the country illegally.

That according to a federal official cited by the Associated Press.

Onyango Obama, who was arrested on drunk driving charges after he nearly rammed a police vehicle last week, was issued a deportation order back in 1992. He ignored it.

The 67-year-old Kenyan-born half-brother of Barack Obama’s late father has pleaded not guilty to operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. He is being detained.

The president’s illegal alien aunt was also ordered to leave the country years ago. She likewise ignored the order and continues to reside here illegally.

Onyango Obama has said that he will call the White House for bail. The White House refused to provide a comment for the Associated Press, as did Onyango Obama’s lawyer.
