A family who fled to Kent from Colombia after being threatened by a murderous drugs cartel fear they will be killed if a Home Office decision.
Luisa Rodriguez, 37, and her three daughters have been living in a budget hotel room in Ashford since arriving in the UK in 2023.
They left South America after Luisa’s police officer husband refused to work for the notorious Clan Del Golfo gang, sparking a terrifying campaign of intimidation against them.
But their dream of a new, safer life in England has now been shattered after their bid for asylum was rejected by the Home Office in a decision branded “beyond comprehension”.
It has left Luisa and her daughters – Maria,16, and 12-year-old twins Alejandra and Paula – distraught and fearful for their futures.
“I can’t go back,” said Luisa, who is a qualified nurse.
“These people think nothing of killing and I have to prioritise the safety of my children.”
