On the 31st August 2021, my husband Damion aka Trimpy and I should be celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. Instead, our family life has been threatened by the UK home office.

Why? In 2011 Trimpy was jailed for 2 years of which he served 14 months. For possession of a controlled drug and possession of criminal property. He admits he got in with the wrong crowd, it shouldn't have happened and he is sorry. Since his release in 2012 he has stayed out of trouble and is a fully rehabilitated family man.

Despite this and the passage of time, the UK Home office continue to insist that he is a dangerous criminal and a risk to the public even though he has not reoffended. 

The Home office plan to deport him on the 11th August 2021. He is being held in a detention centre near Heathrow Airport. 

We have only 7 days to raise this injustice and stop this flight. The Jamaica government should be ashamed of their complicit involvement in this treatment which enables black families to be separated and insulted by being told that relationships can continue via video calls. Whilst we hear our politicians telling us repeatedly that they made a mistake and have learnt lessons, Jamaicans and in particular, black men, have no right to rehabilitate.  

It isn't right. It isn't fair. It's systemic racism. Please sign this petition to keep our loving family together and ask every compassionate person you know to sign it too.
