Ms Patel said: “These dangerous foreign criminals have no place in our society, and I will not compromise the safety and security of the British people by letting them stay in our country.

“The British public rightly expect foreign national offenders to be removed from our country. These people have violated our laws and values, and I am unapologetic in my determination to remove these convicted foreign rapists, murders, and child sex offenders from our country.”
