BOSTON— Officials say President Barack Obama’s uncle has been released from a Massachusetts jail two weeks after being arrested on a drunken driving charge.

Onyango Obama was detained by federal immigration officials for allegedly violating an order to return to his native Kenya. Federal officials would not say why he was released Thursday or where he went.

People who live in the same Framingham home as him and workers at a liquor store where he was a valued employee said they don’t know where Mr. Obama is.
