^A woman who has been married to a British man for 27 years is being held in a Scottish detention centre prior to deportation.
Irene Clennel is originally from Singapore and has two British sons and a granddaughter.
She lives with her husband John in County Durham and was detained at a routine appointment at an immigration reporting centre in Middlesbrough.
The Home Office has said it does not comment on individual cases.
Mrs Clennel was given indefinite leave to remain in the UK after her marriage.
But periods spent back in Singapore caring for her elderly parents appear to have invalidated her residential status.
She said she has made repeated attempts - both in Singapore and back in the UK - to re-apply for permission to live with her husband^
