The Special Relationship (Paperback)

True stories from the sharp edge of transatlantic deportation. In America, foreign nationals can be deported after serving prison sentences; some of them are British. Hassan Abdulrazzak interviewed ex-prisoners and experts in immigration and criminal law to get behind the political rhetoric, and to explore the extraordinary realities of people caught up in the quagmire of immigration detention and deportation. These are their verbatim stories of double punishment and separation, stuck in the transatlantic tango between Trump and May.
