Deportation near miss leaves man traumatised

A DETAINEE who was pulled off last week’s deportation flight to Jamaica at the last minute is experiencing flashbacks triggered by the distress of the night, campaigners claimed yesterday. 

Out of the 50 men scheduled on the charter flight on February 11, 25 were still taken to the airport despite being granted a reprieve from deportation hours earlier. 

The flight from Doncaster airport went ahead, deporting 17 people.
