His attorney claims ICE also threatened to arrest his wife, an American citizen who is eight months pregnant. When she attempted to visit him in New Jersey, officials told her he was not there.

Some families who spoke to the BBC wanted to do so anonymously because they have children who are still in school and are worried about jeopardising their places.Meanwhile, Charlene’s attempts to raise concerns at her daughters’ school had little effect, and within the space of a year, Isla and Skye - and nine other children - had left.

For the past 18 months, the girls have struggled at home, unable to find another school that can meet their needs, and Charlene is worried about their future.“It is bleak,” she says, “Isla should be going into year nine, starting to look at what GCSEs she wants to do and what she wants to do for her future. But she really hasn't had an education for so long now.“It's really worrying. Where do we go from here?”

The number of state executions around the world has reached its highest level in ten years, a new report by Amnesty International has said.More than 1,500 recorded executions took place in 2024 with Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia accounting for a combined 1,380 and the United States for 25, the charity found.

Despite this rise, the report also found that the total number of countries carrying out the death penalty stood at 15 - the lowest number on record for the second consecutive year.

Amnesty International's Secretary General Agnes Callamard said the "tide is turning" on capital punishment, adding that "it is only a matter of time until the world is free from the shadow of the gallows".The watchdog is then aiming to provide an updated code of practice to the government for ministerial approval by the end of June.

A spokesperson for the EHRC said: "The law is as set out in the Supreme Court's very readable judgment and is effective immediately."Employers, service providers and others with duties under the Equality Act must follow the law and should take appropriate specialist legal advice where necessary.

"But we know many people have questions about the consequences of the judgment and what it means for them, which is why we issued this [guidance] in the interim."The spokesperson added: "We remain committed to promoting equality and tackling discrimination in all its forms."
