## Resource

The UK government is poised to deport Shabir Ahmed, the Rochdale grooming gang leader, despite a legal snag for pre-1973 arrivals — and plans to rewrite the law to make it happen. With Pakistan refusing to accept him, officials are eyeing visa restrictions as leverage, citing past successes in securing deportations from Angola, Namibia, and Congo through similar diplomatic pressure. Victims Minister Catherine Atkinson praised Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s proven track record, hinting at a bold new strategy — and a major announcement is expected later today as the Home Secretary prepares to address Parliament.
