Asylum racist facing LA prison 'Porridge'

A racist Preston writer who fled to the apparent safe haven of Los Angeles could be set for a hairy few months - after being banged up in prison.

Whittle, 41, of Avenham Lane, was convicted of penning anti-Jewish articles on a website, but he failed to turn up at Leeds Crown Court on Monday for a hearing.

US immigration officials detained unemployed Whittle when he arrived at Los Angeles airport on Tuesday to claim political asylum.

Whittle is being held in Santa Ana City jail, near LA, while he awaits an asylum hearing. 

The jail has more modern accommodation than most of the state's ageing jails and education programmes to help inmates reform. 

It is a type II jail, which is at the lower end of security. Inmates are allowed three visits a week. 

It houses people arrested in the Santa Ana area, adults and youths awaiting trial, and parolees. 

Whittle is likely to have his case considered at an immigration hearing in the US before UK authorities can secure his return.

American immigration expert Alex Rojas has warned Whittle is unlikely to be soaking up the sunshine in Hollywood while waiting for his case to be heard by a judge.

Mr Rojas, a partner in New York legal firm Barst and Mukamal, said: "It could be anywhere between three to six months before a case is scheduled for hearing. Typically, he would be kept in custody. continues here



Mr Rojas said: "It is very difficult to get political asylum from the UK. You have to establish a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality or membership of a particular social group or political opinion",I believe Mr Whittle ticks most boxes.
