UK Challenging Decision to Let Snoop Dogg into Country

Britain is appealing a court decision to let the rapper Snoop Dogg into their country. He was barred from Britain in 2000 after an altercation where he and five other people were arrested on charges of violent disorder and starting a fight at Heathrow Airport. Seven officers were injured in the incident. There was more trouble when some of the people Snoop was with weren’t allowed into British Airways’ first class lounge at the airport.

Snoop appealed the ban and received entry clearance from and asylum and immigration tribunal in January. The Border Agency plans to challenge the ruling at a hearing next week.
