Woman in Same-Sex Couple Faces Deportation

A woman in a same-sex couple is reportedly facing deportation to Japan despite being married. According to reports, the two legally married in Vermont. However, the Defense of Marriage Act prevents the federal government from giving them any benefits associated with marriage. Now, the American citizen in the relationship cannot sponsor her spouse for a green card. Not too long ago, her application to remain in the U.S. was denied by the government.
