Home Office scraps plan to deport autistic man who’s lived here since he was 4
The Metro says a severely autistic man who faced being expelled from the UK to Jamaica will be allowed to remain after the Home Office abandoned plans to deport him.
Osime Brown, 22, left the Caribbean island with his mother aged four and has no memory of the country or family ties there.
But he was facing deportation after serving a prison sentence for stealing a mobile phone with a group of friends, despite claiming he had tried to stop the street robbery rather than take part in it.
