U.S. Attorney General intervenes in gay man's deportation

Interesting stuff! Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured) has asked the Board of Immigration Appeals to reconsider the case of Paul Wilson Dorman, a gay man who is in the U.S. illegally and who had been cleared for deportation.

Holder wants the panel to consider whether Dorman, who is in a civil union under New Jersey law with his U.S. partner, would be considered a spouse if the federal Defense of Marriage Act was not in place.
