UK Changes Law to Deport Grooming Gang Leader

Ahmed, who was stripped of his citizenship, cannot be removed due to a 1971 law protecting Commonwealth nationals who arrived before 1973.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the law would be amended.

The case has reignited debate over immigration and justice.

Ahmed was jailed in 2012 for multiple child sex offences.
