Algerian migrant who has committed 17 crimes can't be deported. A dangerous lunatic walking the streets of the UK


Algerian asylum seeker who has committed 17 crimes including for attempted robbery and drug crime is RELEASED onto the streets because Government can't kick him out 



An Algerian asylum seeker with 14 convictions for 17 crimes can't be deported because no other country will have him, the High Court heard.

The 31-year-old career criminal poses a 'high risk of harm to the public' and has committed 'numerous criminal offences' including violent and drug crime.

He arrived in the UK from Africa in 2003 and has been convicted of 17 offences over a seven-year period. 
The Algerian has brought a compensation claim against the Government claiming he has been unlawfully held in a detention centre.
High Court Judge Martin McKenna has ruled in favour of the Home Office and dismissed the man's claim.
But he has been released from immigration detention after deportation attempts failed.

Judge McKenna said the man, who has a history of alcoholism, drug use and homelessness and cannot be named, had been born in a refugee camp in southern Algeria, claimed that he was 'stateless'.




He said Home Office staff had approached authorities in different parts of Africa - in a bid to deport - but officials abroad had refused to provide travel documents to the man.
The judge said in his ruling: 'The claimant entered the United Kingdom in 2003. He claimed asylum in June 2003.
'In 2005 the claimant began to develop a mental health disorder. He has been treated as an inpatient in hospital since that time both on a voluntary and involuntary basis under mental health legislation.


'He has had periods when he has been drinking heavily and periods when he has been street homeless. He has had periods when he has been suicidal and periods when he has self-harmed. He has been prescribed medication for his mental health condition.'
Judge McKenna added: 'The claimant is a serial offender. Between April 7 2005 and September 10 2012 he acquired 14 convictions for 17 separate offences including attempted robbery, criminal damage, drugs and numerous convictions for shoplifting.
'He was assessed as posing a high risk of harm to the public.'




Judge McKenna said the man had subsequently been detained under immigration legislation pending deportation.
The man had claimed that he had been unlawfully detained between January and November 2015. Home Office officials disputed his claim.
They said he had been a 'serial absconder' and had committed 'numerous criminal offences'.
Staff said he had been held at a time where there had been a prospect of deportation - and they said reasonable deportation steps had been taken. 

The man, who has a history of mental health problems and was not named in the ruling, claimed that he had been unlawfully detained and wanted compensation from the Home Office.
Judge McKenna dismissed the compensation claim but told how the man hadThe judge described the man as a 'serial offender' - listing convictions for attempted robbery, criminal damage, drug crime and shoplifting - and said he had been assessed as 'posing a high risk of harm to the public'.
But the judge said the man had been released late in 2015 - after being held in immigration detention for more than 10 months - following fruitless deportation bids. 

A Home Office spokesperson said: 'Foreign nationals who abuse our hospitality by committing crimes in the UK should be in no doubt of our determination to deport them.
'Since 2010, we have radically reformed the deportation process and removed nearly 32,000 foreign criminals from the UK. We have toughened the law by cutting the number of grounds on which criminals can appeal deportation and are deporting more people before the end of their sentences.'
