Just Following the Routine

Dallas Court in Salford, Greater Manchester is one of 14 reporting centres in Britain where asylum seekers, foreign criminals and those caught working illegally come to make weekly reports. This is to show the Home Office they are following the instructions given to them while their paperwork and legal status is processed. A man arrives thinking he’s making his routine weekly report, but he is about to be arrested and sent back to Nigeria. He’s a convicted sex offender who has served his sentence, but one of the conditions was that he is eventually deported to his homeland. What he doesn’t realise is that this will happen today. He is later taken to a detention centre at Heathrow and put on a plane to Lagos with 5 burly minders escorting him all the way. In 2007 over 4200 foreign national criminals were deported in this manner.
