Minister 'astonished' Albanian criminal wasn't deported partly due to son not liking foreign chicken nuggets Britain’s Border Minister has said she is “astonished” that an Albanian criminal’s deportation was halted partly because of his young son’s aversion to foreign chicken nuggets.
A Home Office spokesperson, who said they did not comment on specific cases, said: “Foreign nationals who commit heinous crimes should be in no doubt that we will do everything to make sure they are not free on Britain’s streets, including removal from the UK at the earliest possible opportunity.
Shadow home secretary Chris Philp told The Daily Telegraph: “This case shows how bogus asylum seekers and foreign criminals are ruthlessly exploiting human rights laws and weak judges to stay in the UK.”.
But an immigration tribunal ruled it would be “unduly harsh” for his 10-year-old son, known as ‘C’ in court documents, to return to Albania with his father owing to food sensitivities, sensory issues and difficulties communicating emotions.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper appealed the judgment in August last year, arguing there was not enough evidence to show Disha’s deportation would be “unduly harsh” on his son.
