Taylor Horn - Deportation Issue

Deportation Issue

On July 5, 2009, Horn and her sick grandmother, Lesley Jones, were both deported from the UK after being interrogated for three hours at John Lennon Airport in Liverpool.

Horn and Jones had flown from Nimes, France to make the trip back to England to spend five months there to promote Horn's music career. Horn and Jones were then detained by UK immigration officials. Afterwards, the two returned from Liverpool to Surrey to continue a three-hour interview. Later, they were told they had to leave the country, with Horn and Jones accusing the agency of underhanded tactics and informed them they would sue. Jones and Horn later returned to Kentwood.

Horn and Jones' lawyer made an appeal, stating that an anti-American bias was the reason for their deportation.

Famous quotes containing the word issue:

    The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!
    Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
