Is he a citizen? If he is not, why should he not be deported?

He should not be deported because his life will be in jeopardy in Somalia.

That’s not just an emotional appeal. I’m pretty sure that’s a legal basis for not reporting someone.

Is that actually true? What would be the limiting principle for that rule? That logic sounds far too limiting on host country sovereignty.
I mean, that’s what asylum is for.
