             The appellant appeals the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Phull promulgated on 10 December 2023 dismissing his appeal against the respondent's decision of 6 March 2021 refusing to revoke his deportation order on human rights grounds.

             The appellant is a national of Albania born in 1987. On 4 September 2006, the appellant applied for entry clearance as a visitor. That application was refused on 19 September 2006. Undeterred, the appellant entered the UK illegally on an unknown date which he says was around 2007. On 8 March 2013, he was encountered by immigration enforcement officers and served with notice that he was liable to removal as an illegal entrant.

             On an unknown date that the appellant says was in 2018, he re-entered the UK illegally and in breach of the deportation order. In circumstances that are unclear from the papers before me, on 9 September 2019, the appellant was detained under immigration powers and, because he was also in breach of his licence, he was returned to prison to finish his sentence.

             On 8 October 2019, the appellant claimed asylum which was refused in a decision dated 7 April 2020 and certified as clearly unfounded under s.94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 ("the 2002 Act").

             On 5 November 2020, the appellant's representatives sent further submissions to the respondent asking that the deportation order be revoked on the basis of his family life (it was said he had a son in the UK, "C1") and private life in the UK. In a decision dated 6 March 2021, the respondent refused to revoke the deportation order.
