I defend baby killers like Lucy Letby – bombshell new theory could FREE her but I know real truth… & it's NOT medical The inmate is the fourth woman in British history to be given no hope for parole after committing her string of chilling murders.

Illegal immigration crackdown sees 'most people ever' detained at Dublin Airport
Immigration officials are now targeting foreign criminals trying to come and live in Ireland. They are taking a hard-line stance with asylum seekers who arrive here with no passports from Georgia and Albania - two countries now listed as safe states. They are also being given details on various criminals kicked out of the UK by the British authorities, who then try to get back into Ireland from Romania. A Government insider said: "We are now detaining more people than ever before at Dublin Airport. "Most who arrive here illegally are being returned on the next plane within 24 hours. "There was an unofficial ban on detaining women because it looked bad politically but not anymore." The Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan this week confirmed that 179 individuals had been detained in Irish jails for immigration-related reasons so far this year compared to 204 for the whole of 2024. Defending the figures he said: "It can be necessary to detain people in advance of a deportation order to prevent absconding. Alternatives to detention are widely used where they are deemed appropriate. "When a person does not apply with a deportation order they can be arrested and detained for up to 56 days for the purpose of ensuring their deportation from the state. "In the case of a person refused leave to land to enter the State, arrangements are made by the Garda National Immigration Bureau to return the person to their point of embarkation at the earliest opportunity which may take a number of days. Detention in such circumstances is only carried out as a last resort."
