US senators ask President Obama to give Meriam Ibrahim asylum
US
Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Roy Blunt (R-MO) called out President
Barack Obama this week for not doing enough for persecuted Sudanese
Christian Meriam Ibrahim.
The senators said that the White House should offer Ibrahim and her
family asylum, and secure her safe transport into the US. Sen. Cruz
told reporters Tuesday that the United States has displayed a lack of
leadership in the case of Ibrahim, who is married to an American.
