Author: Henry Velandia and Josh Vandiver, a binational same-sex married couple from New Jersey whose case has been in the spotlight in recent days, can stay together. A judge has halted deportation, the AP reports:
Judge Alberto Riefkohl granted an adjournment of the case Friday in a Newark immigration court.
At issue is who can be considered a spouse under federal law.
Velandia is a 27-year-old professional salsa dancer and Vandiver is a 29-year-old graduate student at Princeton University. They were married last year in Connecticut, where same-sex marriage is legal.
