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:

    Parents are led to believe that they must be consistent, that is, always respond to the same issue the same way. Consistency is good up to a point but your child also needs to understand context and subtlety . . . much of adult life is governed by context: what is appropriate in one setting is not appropriate in another; the way something is said may be more important than what is said. . . .
    Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
