This week, Osime Brown's story has been in the news. Osime has just been released from prison, after a five year sentence. He doesn't have legal British citizenship, so he's been told he's going to be deported to Jamaica - a country where he last lived age 4.
Reece and Shahlaa are taking a look at this policy of automatic deportation. Is it working? They hear from Osime's mum, Joan, about her fears for her son. Osime is autistic, has heart problems and poor mental health. Joan worries that if he's sent to Jamaica alone, he won't survive.
We're talking to Bella Sankey from Detention Action about the impact of deportations on families and communities, and Ellie Green from the think tank Policy Exchange about whether this law is working. Plus we'll hear from Luke de Noronha, who's written a book about people deported to Jamaica, and from some of the young people he's interviewed about their experiences.
