It’s always a challenge when no state wants a person.

I personally don’t think deportation ever really makes sense. If someone commits a crime in the UK, send them to prison there, and when they have served their sentence they can stay. Sending them away does not solve anything.

If a country requests extradition to charge a person with a crime, that’s a slightly different story. I think there can be arguments for and against.

Either way, I don’t trust Shabana Mahmood to thread the needle, if that was even her intention to begin with. Her policies have already caused enough suffering.
