A growing number of congressional representatives are voicing opposition to the Department of Homeland Security's "business as usual" handling of immigration cases involving married binational gay couples -- some who may face future deportation proceedings as a result.

Two California Democrats -- Rep. Jackie Speier and Rep. Mike Honda -- told The Advocate Friday that they disagreed with the recent decision by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to continue adjudicating such cases. That statement came two days after the agency said it had put a hold on such cases while waiting for further legal guidance from DHS attorneys.
