Feels that the headline is misleading. He is a criminal.
“He was jailed in October 2024 for 18 months after travelling from asylum accommodation in Wolverhampton to Pitlochry, Scotland, where he threatened a shopkeeper with a broken bottle in an argument. His previous convictions included possessing a knife and assaulting an emergency worker.”
“But in April of this year he was moved to HMP Lewes in East Sussex, apparently because his “erratic” behaviour could not be “adequately managed” at an immigration removal centre.”
“In May a tribunal granted immigration bail to the claimant, which should have led to his release. Nonetheless, he remained in prison, more than 15 weeks on, because he had not been provided with “a suitable accommodation address in the community”, Judge Bates said.”
Why do they want him in any accommodation within the community? He is a violent, unstable criminal who traveled here illegally, having arrived on the back of a lorry. What could we possibly owe him so that he deserves a free home? Am I missing something? He’s obviously going to continue his violent tendencies…

Cases like this are what fuel peoples opposition to the current asylum system.
The relevant bit is probably:
> After lawyers told the home secretary that the man did not understand what he was signing and did not want to withdraw his asylum application, Cooper reinstated his asylum claim.
