Onyango Obama was arrested last week in Framingham, which is 20 miles outside of Boston, after police said he made a rolling stop and nearly caused a cruiser to strike his SUV.
When police asked if Onyango Obama wanted to make a phone call, he said, " I think I will call the White House."
A spokesman for the immigration attorney Margaret Wong, who is representing him, confirmed that the 67-year-old is the president's uncle.
Onyango Obama is the brother of Zeituni Onyango, the president's aunt, who last year won the right to stay in the United States after a deportation order.
Police say the president's uncle is originally from Kenya and is being held without bail on a detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
