Some 10 years ago, my wife was teaching at a cat C prison; she reckons that about a quarter of her clients were blokes awaiting deportation, usually for drugs offences and usually to the West Indies. Their prime aim whilst awaiting trial was to get their girlfriend pregnant so they would have an argument against deportation.
Deportation of criminals after their release has been going on for years, I don't see why it has suddenly become hot news.
