A 22-year-old man who has autism and his family are celebrating after the Home Office abandoned plans to deport him to Jamaica. Martin has been fighting to halt her son’s deportation and a campaign against it had been gathering momentum, with demonstrations held in London and Glasgow at the weekend. On Tuesday the Home Office abandoned its plans to deport him. Thank you for allowing my son to stay in his home and in the only country he has ever truly known. “The Home Office reviews all cases when new information is provided and all decisions are made in accordance with the law.”
