In this photo taken Jan. 4, 2012, Bradford Wells, left, and Anthony John Makk pose together at their home in San Francisco. Wells and Makk, are a married gay couple that have lived most of their 19 years of relationship in San Francisco. Makk is a citizen of Australia married to Wells, a U.S. citizen who suffers from AIDS-related illness. Makk is his primary caregiver. The Department of Homeland Security plans to instruct its field offices next week illegal immigrants with same-sex partners or spouses are eligible for consideration under a federal program designed to focus resources away from low-priority deportation cases. Secretary Janet Napolitano has told Democratic lawmakers that binational gay couples who are married or in long-term relationships will be defined as having the family ties government lawyers can cite as grounds for dropping deportation proceedings.

FILE - This 1962 file photo provided by the FBI shows Clarence Anglin 28, of Montgomery, Ala., in San Francisco. Anglin is a bank robber believed to have escaped from Alcatraz Island Federal Prison. Fifty years ago, three convicted bank robbers who had dug out of their Alcatraz cells with spoons boarded a tiny raft made of raincoats, pulling off an unlikely escape from The Rock that made its way into prison lore, a book and a movie. A lone U.S. marshal still is trying to find whether Clarence Anglin, John Anglin or Frank Morris survived the treacherous crossing of San Francisco Bay and are alive. (AP Photo/FBI, File)
