An Iraqi man is the latest drug dealer to escape deportation from the UK after a judge ruled that he was too “westernised” to be returned to his home country.
The man, who was jailed for more than five years after a conviction for dealing cocaine, has lived in Britain for 24 years and has a British-born daughter.
Home Office officials attempted to have him deported but a specialist judge in the asylum tribunal ruled that returning the man to Iraq would violate his human rights as he would be “viewed with suspicion”.
