## Key points

- The article says deportation rates for some foreign offenders are low.
- It cites rates of 3 to 6 per cent for four nationalities in 2025.
- Conservatives propose raising annual deportations from about 6,000 to 40,000.

## Summary

The article argues that the UK is failing to deport foreign offenders and says this leaves the public at risk. It uses the case of Nigerian national Gift Oladele, who was jailed for 17 years for rape after an earlier deportation attempt was stopped on human rights grounds, to criticise the use of family-life protections.

The author cites Home Office figures for 2025, saying 4.2 per cent of Algerian, 6 per cent of Bangladeshi, 4.8 per cent of Nigerian and 3 per cent of Jamaican foreign offenders living in the community were deported. The article also claims more than 20,000 serious foreign offenders subject to deportation orders remain in the UK. It sets out the Conservatives’ proposal to deport every foreign offender, including leaving the European Convention on Human Rights, and says this would raise annual deportations from about 6,000 to 40,000.
