Letter: In Brief
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Sir: The proposed deportation of Ben James to Nigeria for a minor technical offence committed at the age of 17 is contrary to any concept of justice ("Resident for 16 years, he was given just two days to get out", 2 June).
Mr James has done all that could be expected of a model citizen and, by all accounts, would have continued to contribute to the wellbeing of his adopted country. He is being sent to a country of which he no longer speaks the language of his childhood and where, apparently, he has no home or friends.
