Shawn Rickford McLeod, a Jamaican drug dealer, successfully challenged his deportation order on the basis of family life rights under the ECHR. Despite serving over three years for supplying class A drugs, a judge deemed deportation would be excessively harsh on his children in the UK. Judge Brannan noted McLeod's intention to care for his kids, despite his admission of continued cannabis use. This decision has sparked criticism, with politicians arguing it undermines public safety and calls for changes to human rights laws.
The ever-expanding interpretation of ECHR articles by weak immigration judges has to end.
Immigration judges seem more interested in letting foreign drug dealers and paedophiles stay in the UK than in upholding the law.
