This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

Foreign national offenders are already subject to deportation under the UK Borders Act 2007. So we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could call for a change to that law if it is something you would like to see happen.
