Interesting article that shows how different Mo's life is from his brothers.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/olympic-legend-mo-farahs-brother-8721080
Quick question for the Brits. Since his brother may get deported does this mean he is not a citizen? Or can they strip his citizenship because of his crimes? Not sure how it works in the UK. In the US, if he was a citizen, he would get to stay.

It must mean he doesn't have citizenship. If he was a citizen, he'd have the rights of a UK citizen.
-
He is automatically British because his father was born there. He is also a Somali national and the British reserve the right to give you the boot if you are a moran and have somewhere else to go.
The guy sounds like a tool. "My swagger" lol -
"he has given up hope of ever seeing Mo again."
-
Since he's Mo Farah's identical twin and genetically has the same talent, he should start a marathon training program under Al Sal. Maybe it's not too late for an elite career?

The twin is a different brother. See below.

For those too lazy to read the article, let me list some salient points:
1.) Mo has 7 brothers. Yes, that's right, 7.
2.) Mo's brother Ahmed, living in the UK, served part of a prison sentence "for false imprisonment over his involvement in a knife raid."
Wait. Huh? Does that mean he possessed knives unlawfully and was raided? Does that mean he worked for people who raid unlawful possessors of knifes, but committed a crime in the process? Does that mean he was unlawfully imprisoning someone while doing something else illegal with knives? I have no idea, the article doesn't go further on this matter.
3.) Ahmed was released early from prison, but for some reason may now face deportation for the same crime.
4.) Ahmed feels that, if deported, the Somalians will see him as an outsider, and kill him for that reason.
5.) Mo has an identical twin brother, Hassan, who lives in Somaliland, which is (sort of) part of Somalia.
6.) Mo's father, Muktar, brought Mo, Ahmed, and another of Mo's brothers, Wahib, to the UK in 1991.
7.) Mo's father currently still lives in the UK, but his mother (name not given) lives in Somalia. Based on the way the article is written, it's entirely possible that Mo's mother has never been outside Somalia.
8.) Mo's other brothers are Mahad, Omar, Nimo, and Ifrah. All of them live in the UK currently. It's unclear from the article if they are half-brothers or 'full' brothers with Mo.
9.) Mahad is in touch with Ahmed, but says that Mo is bad at maintaining connections with his family. Two of Mahad's quotes:
"I have no idea whether Mo knows what's going on in Ahmed's life."
"If I died tomorrow, would he [Mo] even know? Would he come to my funeral?"
--------
So, 3 lingering questions that I have:
Do they punish you twice for the same crime in the UK?
Did Mo's dad really leave his wife in Somalia, and separate Mo from his twin brother only to bring 2 other brothers to a different country? What sense does that make?
Didn't Mo's wife, Tania, give birth to twins? If so, are twins genetically more likely to have twins themselves? Maybe the brojos can weigh in on that last one. -
He already has enough issues w/ illegal and self-destructive behavior.

To the OP:
This has happened in the US. Being a US citizen doesn't mean shit if the government decides, based on your parent's origin, that you deserve to be sent back due to "criminal offenses."
Could be something that is no longer done, but SE asians were sent back to their respective countries years after they completed prison sentences. Ironically these guys had no idea how to speak their parent's language and get by in a FOREIGN country. Fortunately, places like Cambodia seem more accepting of American born SE asians than Ahmed makes Somalia sound like. -

The answer to the last question is yes.
