Jamaican national Damion Thompson is facing deportation following a 2011 drugs conviction.
A Jamaican man who has been fighting deportation for a decade has been granted a last-minute reprieve.
However, his family in Leeds, where he has lived for 20 years, say they have secured a seven-day injunction. Mr Thompson, also known as Trimpy, was jailed in 2011 and served 14 months in custody before being released in 2012. His wife, Linda Rose, said the deportation order had been "hanging over the family" despite several attempts to overturn it, while their daughter, Rebecca Rose, said the past 10 years had been "hugely stressful".A petition opposing the order has received more than 43,000 signatures.
