Isabella Acevedo smuggled out of Britain
Mark Harper's former cleaner put on a flight to Colombia

A TORY minister’s former cleaner was secretly smuggled out of Britain yesterday after activists stopped heartless officials from deporting her earlier this week.

Isabella Acevedo — who worked at Minister for Disabled People Mark Harper’s house for seven years — was reportedly dragged out of her room in the early hours and put on a flight to Colombia.

Supporter Trenton Oldfield said that late on Wednesday he “got a call from Isabella’s roommate in Yarl’s Wood saying she had been taken, still in her night clothes.”
