A deportation operation is underway in Dublin, with at least one family who had lived in Cork for years being returned to South Africa. And multiple people were picked up from this hotel as part of the deportation order today. But Titilayo Oluwakemi Oyekanmi and her three sons, Samuel, Joseph and Genesis, who are aged between five and 18, are understood to be facing deportation today. Their local community had asked the Department of Justice to allow them to stay but their deportation order has not been revoked. “A deportation order is a legal order to leave the State,” the Department of Justice said in a statement.
