- UK to change law in bid to deport Rochdale grooming gang ringleader Shabir Ahmed
UK Home Minister Shabana Mahmood announced plans to amend the 1971 Immigration Act to allow the deportation of Shabir Ahmed, a former grooming gang ringleader, after he was released from prison. The amendment aims to override legal barriers preventing the removal of Commonwealth nationals who arrived in the UK before 1973.
