Daniel Romeike

**Daniel Romeike** (born April 18, 1997) is the first child and first son of Uwe Romeike and Hannelore Romeike.

Along with his siblings, Daniel was homeschooled growing up. He attended public school until third grade.

Daniel was born in Bissingen, Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, but moved to the United States with his family in August 2008 because they were being persecuted for homeschooling their children. In Germany, it is required that almost all children must attend a government sanctioned school (Private, Christian, Jewish, Public, etc.). The Romeikes wanted to homeschool their children, due to their Evangelical Christian faith, and were facing fines, forcible removal of their children, and possible imprisonment due to this. They came to America and sought asylum for religious freedom. Originally, they were facing deportation in the United States upon the Supreme Court's ruling not to hear their case, but have since appealed that ruling and have been given an indefinite deferred status. This was also made complicated by the fact that their two youngest children are American citizens by birth.
