Key legal question
Whether deportation detention was lawful and proportionate to secure removal
Extracted holding
Yes. The detention served the statutory purpose of securing removal, the risk of absconding was established, and no legal or factual obstacle made removal unforeseeably impossible.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant gave evasive and inconsistent statements, failed to cooperate, and had already been criminally convicted. These elements justified the flight-risk detention ground; no pending asylum request or other impediment affected removability.
