## Resource

Shabir Ahmed, the convicted ringleader of a Rochdale grooming gang, is set to be deported — but a 1971 law blocks it, even though he’s stripped of British citizenship. The Home Secretary is preparing to crack the legal loophole, possibly via emergency measures, but Pakistan won’t take him unless the UK surrenders two political dissidents — making deportation far from guaranteed.
