UK Tribunal Revisits Deportation Case Over Child's Food Sensitivities

The deportation of an Albanian criminal is under review after a court ruled it could be unduly harsh on his 10-year-old son, citing food sensitivities and family impact.

Klevis Disha, an Albanian national, faces deportation after entering the UK illegally, using a false identity, and being convicted of financial crimes.
An immigration tribunal initially halted his deportation, citing potential harm to his 10-year-old son, who has sensory issues and food sensitivities, including an aversion to foreign chicken nuggets.
The Home Office appealed the ruling, arguing that the evidence provided, including claims about the child's needs, was insufficient to justify blocking deportation.
A higher court judge has referred the case back to a lower tribunal for reassessment, stating the initial decision lacked substantial evidence of undue harshness.
The case highlights broader debates over immigration laws, human rights protections, and the challenges of addressing a growing backlog of asylum and deportation appeals in the UK.
