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.
She stressed that the Government was appealing the judgement.
Klevis Disha, 39, entered the UK illegally as an unaccompanied minor. He later gave a fake name and falsely claimed to be born in the former Yugoslavia.
He was stripped of his UK citizenship in 2021 after serving two years in prison when he was caught with £300,000 known to be proceeds of crime.
It was later determined that he should forfeit citizenship because it had been “acquired through deception”.
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.
The only example listed in court documents was the young boy’s aversion to eating “the type of chicken nuggets that are available abroad”.
The court heard while the young boy had no formal diagnosis, education plans were in place to support his “emotional regulation, independence; reading and writing”.
Home Office minister Dame Angela told LBC Radio: “It’s not for me to second guess a judgement that we have appealed and we certainly hope that we can get deportation action going in that particular case.
“But that will be for the courts to decide.”
Pressed whether she thought Disha’s human rights were being breached because of the chicken nuggets issue, she added: “I’m fairly astonished.
“What we have to do is say we are serious about this, we have deported a lot of people regardless of whether they like chicken nuggets or not.”
She stressed more illegal immigrants were being deported and more companies employing people who had no right to be in the UK were being targeted.
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.
Upper tribunal judge David Merrigan, who delivered the latest ruling on the case agreed, referring the appeal back to a new judge for further review.
“We can only see in the decision a single example of why C could not go to Albania,” Judge Merrigan ruled.
“We are not persuaded that the addition of this sole example approaches anywhere near the level of harshness for a reasonable judge to find it to be ‘unduly’ so.”
The case is ongoing.
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.
“Since the election, we’ve removed 2,580 foreign criminals, a 23% increase on the same period 12 months prior.”
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.”
Thousands of migrants working illegally in nail bars, car washes and restaurants have been arrested as part of the Government’s efforts to tighten UK border security.
Some 3,930 arrests have been made across 5,424 visits by immigration enforcement officers from July 5, when Labour took power, to January 31.
